One of the great if not the greatest composer America has produced in the last century..., its good that on venues like RUclips he can be heard & appreciated by a wide audience!
Interesting performance. I find that in this work, and in other really "American" works (like Ives, Copland, etc) I prefer American conductors, especially Bernstein, as they tend to make the music sound more "American" - couldn't tell you exactly why. Perhaps, at least with Bernstein, it's going past what is written and arriving at the soul of the music. An example is at 6:51 where there is little here of the tempo indications indicated in the score at this moment and it all has pretty much the same tempo, like a regular, if subdued, waltz. Compare with Bernstein at the same place where he really revels in the tempo subtleties.
@@HIJK_LMNOP these days I would normally agree with you- but I disagree in terms of Ives and Copland music - from a time before America went down the toilet...

Who might be greater? The father of American classical music.
Ives' music speaks directly to the listener. It is like sitting down and eating a good, nutritious meal. He never ceases to inspire me.
What a gorgeous sound. As someone who comes from a ‘fundamentalist’ church, the use of old hymns is a moving experience.
modern and good symphony with a solid tone
