I know of three takes (one abandoned) of They Are There, which can be found along with his other (piano) recordings on a New World CD (http://www.amazon.com/Ives-Plays/dp/B000ETRM9E/classicalnet/) I've never heard or seen any other recordings. They Are There is the recording which was "accompanied" by the Kronos Quartet on a CD about 15 years ago. A bigger waste of time I cannot imagine. But to hear Ives himself, is very special.
