Review by Daniel Mickoh

The album Charles Ives Piano Sonata No 1 by William Masselos is a stunning collection of classical music that is sure to captivate any listener. The album features Masselos' masterful interpretation of Ives' first piano sonata, which is considered to be one of the most challenging works in the classical piano repertoire.

His interpretation is both powerful and nuanced, capturing the essence of Ives' unique musical style.

The liner notes provide valuable background information on the music and the composer, making this album a great resource for anyone interested in classical music.

Thank you for sharing this; too few complete recordings of this sonata on YT! Sometimes I find myself preferring it to it's more famous sibling ?

Met Masselos shortly after he recorded this at a dinner party with my piano teacher after he performed a concert of music by Ives and Satie. I was only 12 at the time and actually told him I liked the Noel Lee performance better, but Masselos was very modest and actually admitted that his performance was not faultless.
