The recordings featuring the Chicago Symphony and Amsterdam Concertgebouw orchestras date from 1981 to 1989; those with the San Francisco Symphony from 1999. Gramophone called the disc containing Three Places in New England with the San Francisco Symphony \"as fine a collection of [Ives's] songs and short orchestral pieces as I've found on one release\". Also from Gramophone: \"A stellar performance of the Fourth [Symphony with the Chicago orchestra]. Not only are all the elements in place - no easy feat in itself - but the performance revels in the piece's American roots, with marches and ragtime passages tossed off with as much apparent simplicity as the piece's modernist language\" and \"Tilson Thomas moves through his seasonal year [the \"New England Holidays\"] with fine flourish that balances the musical fireworks of 'The Fourth of July' and the sombre moments of 'Decoration Day'. [He] is blessed with Chicago's legendary brass section... and the CSO Chorus under [Margaret] Hillis - about as unapologetically American in their musicality as a conductor could find.\" And the Penguin Guide called this last disc \"among the most impressive Ives records in the catalogue\".\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/TRACK_LISTING_WITH_WORLD_1_2bde7a82-aa13-416a-be9f-34e671d86893_480x480.png?v=1612884513\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Disc 1 -\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 Symphony No. 1\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 Hymns (Quoted By Charles Ives in His Symphony No. 4)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3 Symphony No. 4\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- Disc 2 -\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 Symphony No. 2\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 Symphony No. 3 \"The Camp Meeting\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3 Orchestral Set No. 2\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- Disc 3 -\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 A Symphony: New England Holidays\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 The Unanswered Question (Rev.)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3 Central Park in the Dark\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4 The Unanswered Question (Orig.)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- Disc 4 -\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 From the Steeples and the Mountains\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 The Things Our Fathers Loved\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3 The Pond · Memories · Charlie Rutlage\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4 The Circus Band · Orchestral Set No. 1:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5 Three Places in New England\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6 In Flanders Fields · They Are There!\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e7 Tom Sails Away · Symphony No. 4 (MVT.
