Charles Ives: Universe Symphony real. Johnny Reinhard (Bochumer Symphoniker, Tung-Chieh Chuang).
The programme also includes recordings of two of the Violin Sonatas and the 2nd String Quartet. The Universe Symphony starts about 4' 15" in. While most of the introduction is in German, there are a couple of contributions from Johnny Reinhard, in American English.
