Morlot completely embraces the American spirit in this irresistible recording of three orchestral suites evoking Ives’s United States. Brash brass-band music, hymn tunes, barn dances and church bells fade in and out of these impressionistic canvases, colliding and overlapping with each other in gloriously gleeful abandon.

They do brilliantly atmospheric things in the dankest passages of Three Places and New England Holidays – mercurial textures full of suggestion and threat.
