Cage works: Jeanne Kirstein (prepared piano, piano, and toy piano); Feldman works: David Tudor, Morton Feldman, Edwin Hymovitz, Russell Sherman (pianos), Matthew Raimondi & Joseph Rabushka (violins), Walter Trampler (viola) & Seymour Barab (cello) This double-CD set combines two of the key titles of Columbia Records’s legendary “Music of Our
Time” series curated by David Behrman. Jeanne Kirstein’s recording of Cage’s early keyboard
works remains a touchstone of Cagean interpretation notwithstanding the passage of time.
Christian Wolff recalls, "I remember Cage saying that Jeanne Kirstein’s playing caught the spirit in
which the pieces were written at the time he wrote them—a kind of simple excitement and
enthusiasm (also, surely, out of the discovery of the preparing of the piano and the great new
sounds)." | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | Cage: Music For Prepared Piano
"Cage's prepared piano music might be better known by reputation than by acquaintance, but this excellent new release, part of Naxos's praiseworthy ongoing exploration of seminal 20th-century works, should persuade more people to step into the composer's eccentric sound-world. Boris Berman gives a sensitive, closely considered performance of the Sonatas and Interludes for Prepared Piano, written in the late Forties, and seems to relish every sound he makes. The very close recording allows the listener to hear every sound and every resonance in minute detail, and it is the strange beauty of the sounds themselves under Berman's tight control that makes this disc such a joy."
