Seattle Symphony & Ludovic Morlot - Ives: New England Holidays & Orchestral Sets Nos. 1 & 2 (2017)

Ludovic Morlot and the Seattle Symphony Orchestra summon a magical set of distinctly American impressions. Morlot is a sorcerer with this kind of music, finding balance between the work’s myriad events: ominous strings cast dour moods, while woodwinds interject with unanswered questions.
