    Richard, I strongly recommend you try the Yale/Sinclair live recording of the Critical Edition, as mentioned earlier. I am listening to it again. I downloaded it from Bandcamp 3 years ago and pressure of work at that time meant it went to the back-burner. Wow! It knocks the big boys and girls into a cocked hat.

          That will be quite a collector's treasure. I expect it will include Ives' own recordings of extracts from the 'Concord' sonata with his own interpolations, about 20 minutes' worth , and, needless to say, a unique historic record. I last saw it in a fascinating SONY 10-CD bargain set called 'Masterworks of the 20th century' which revived a lot of rare recordings of some pretty diverse music .

          Once again I must praise SONY for showing much more interest (not to say loving care) over their inherited back-catalogue than the original owners showed.
