The Piano Sonata No. 2 ("Concord") of Charles Ives has tended to overshadow its predecessor, and it's no accident that pianist Joonas Ahonen chose to record that one first. The Piano Sonata No. 1, begun in 1901, represented an underappreciated breakthrough for Ives, even if he did continue to tinker with it into the 1920s. The work encompasses the polyphonic weaving of many strands of American music that would occupy Ives for much of his mature compositional life. Although the composer described it as inspired by "Impressions, Remembrances, & Reflections of Country Farmers in Conn.[ecticut] Farmland," it might better be described as a dialogue between country and city, with Protestant hymns set against and sometimes merged with a ragtime pulse as strong as any elsewhere in Ives' music. It is as monumental as the "Concord" sonata, and at many junctures, just as difficult technically, lacking only the web of literary allusions of the later work. Ahonen is a pianist with a fine feeling for Ives, catching the way he can turn on a dime from weighty matters to a kind of sly humor. The passages where many streams of life flow through the music are clear and confident, the rhythmic shifts that suffuse the music and that make up the backbone of the concluding Three-Page Sonata are crisp. That work is joined in bringing down the curtain by composer Bernhard Gander's Peter Parker (a.k.a. Spider-Man), depicting the superhero's kinetic repertory. This is a very strong and thoroughly enjoyable Ives release.–James Manheim
