Description: | Works For 2 Keyboards Vol.1 by The Arditti Quartet, released 18 October 2013.
This version of Works For 2 Keyboards Vol.1 comes as a 1xCD. - PESTOVA/MEYER PIANO DUOJohn Cage's remarkable magnum opus A Book of Music for two prepared pianos is brought together here with his complete works for toy piano. Intricately structured according to Cage's ideas about Mozart, A Book of Music is an eloquent and virtuoso mosaic of driving and sometimes frenetic rhythms, the exotic sounds of the 'prepared' piano strings transporting the listener into worlds of the strangest imagining. The Suite for Toy Piano is a modest miracle of precise expression and the first ever serious concert music written for this instrument, while Music for Amplified Toy Pianos is composed using chance elements, generating a spacious field of sound filled with surprise.? &© Naxos Rights US, Inc. Made in Germany.
Recorded at Espace Découverte, Philharmonie Luxembourg, from 13th to 15th September, 2012.
Respectively composed in 1944, 1948 and 1960.
