American composer Charles Ives created his Holidays Symphony as a haunting sonic portrait of New England at the turn of the 20th century, at turns sentimental and chaotic. Michael Tilson Thomas explores the riddle of Ives the loyal son and businessman versus Ives the musical maverick who made listeners confront their understanding of what music could be. Filmed on location in New England and New York City. Bonus Features: Full-length concert performance of Ives' Holidays Symphony by the San Francisco Symphony originally filmed in high-definition 16:9 widescreen and 5.1 surround sound.
