American conductor David Robertson joins the 麻豆社SO for an exploration of the music of one of his nation's most innovative composers, Charles Ives. He considers the imaginative way Ives evokes a sense of place - in particular his homeland around Boston - and what some of the wider implications of this might be. He focuses on three Ives masterpieces: Central Park in the Dark, The Unanswered Question and Three Places in New England. This programme also contains a feature about a complementary project created by amateur musicians in London based on some of Ives's musical ideas.
