IVES Piano Sonata No 2, ‘Concord, Mass’

Bulgarian pianist Emanuil Ivanov attracted international attention at the age of 21 after receiving the first prize at the 2019 Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition in Italy. This achievement was followed by concert engagements in some of the world’s most prestigious halls, including Teatro alla Scala in Milan and Herkulessaal in Munich. For his Advanced Diploma Recital, he offers a performance of Charles Ives’ second Piano Sonata.

Each of the movements in this work represent figures associated with transcendentalism and the village of Concord, Massachusetts: Emerson, Hawthorne, Bronson and Louisa May Alcott, Thoreau.
