Ives / Melbourne Symphony Orchestra / Davis- Orchestral Works 1 (CD)
This is the first volume of a new series dedicated to the music of Charles Ives, performed by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and it's principal conductor Sir Andrew Davis. An amateur genius of avant-garde composing who experimented with groundbreaking techniques years ahead of their time, the American composer started out with more conventional works - as shown by the two early symphonies recorded here. Exclusive to Chandos, Sir Andrew Davis is the conductor in many of Chandos' best-selling recordings and has already recorded two highly praised albums with the Melbourne Symphony.

- Symphony No. 1: I. Allegro
- Symphony No. 1: II. Adagio Molto [Sostenuto]
- Symphony No. 1: III. Scherzo: Vivace
- Symphony No. 1: IV. Allegro Molto

- Symphony No. 2: II. Allegro
- Symphony No. 2: III. Adagio Cantabile
