 A Scottish-Viennese Odyssey
When Dutch pianist Ronald Brautigam was in Sweden in September to play two piano concertos with Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra, we talked with the performer in the midst of rehearsal. The concert was recorded for Helsingborg Concert Hall Play series and - according to Brautigam - Sally Beamish's 1st piano concerto named "Hill Stanzas" and Mozart's 17th, make a very fine musical combination in a concert program.

Dave, this is a wonderful presentation.
The first half, looking at the harmonic underpinnings  is an informative set up to hearing his music in the 2nd half. This was a very colorful selection of Ive's pieces. Broad in its scope.
Very entertaining, interesting; and shines a beautiful,  austere and playful  light on a composer,  who too much of the time is not given his due.
Thanks for posting!

No sign of him here, even though Elliott Carter was mentored by Ives in his youth.

Best,
