Ives Three Places in New England
Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue
Copland Piano Concerto
Joplin (arr. Schuller) Treemonisha Suite
Marin Alsop conductor
Garrick Ohlsson piano
Exactly 80 years before this concert, American visionary Charles Ives witnessed the first performance of his orchestral triptych
Three Places in New England. Inside Ives was stirring a unique brand of American impressionism: the piece recounted feelings floated to him from the rugged and humble beauty of New England landscapes as he walked through them, his wife by his side. A strange, prudent, masterpiece Ives’s work remains – a fascinating contrast to Joplin’s rhythmic
Treemonisha Suite and the touching, playful simplicity of Copland’s beautiful Piano Concerto.
