I'm not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to Ives, but I would say I'm a fan of his.... What I have always found interesting about him, though, is that he was experimenting with atonality around the same time Schoenberg was... and he had never even heard of Schoenberg.
Anyways... I've always been a fan of the Ives Plays Ives compilation that features recordings of him playing and improvising on the piano. Even his orchestral works are fantastic, such as his fourth symphony
