Andrew Rangell plays Ives, Nielsen & John McDonald
•Carl Nielsen produced a significant body of piano music, the most ambitious and striking work being his 1919 Suite, dedicated to the great Artur Schnabel.
•Ives's kaleidoscopic First Sonata presents huge interpretive challenges for the performer. Experimental, yet containing traditional materials, the work is a challenge for even the most inspired of interpreters.
•John McDonald's “Meditation” was composed at the request of Andrew Rangell, to be performed on a concert featuring Ives's “Concord” Sonata. Using a few fragments from Ives, McDonald creates a short 'dreamscape', conjuring the mist over Walden Pond.
