>and whilst we're at it - can someone recommend the essential John Cage? good thread. for electronics: for merce cunningham (a recording w/kosugi comes to mind)/indeterminacy (classic pairing of cage reading 90 one minute texts in one room and tudor doing various 'klangfarben' in another w/electronics)/variations iv(another cage/tudor pairing)/europeras 3&4 (w/parts for multiple 78 rpm record players...) chamber/ensemble/solo: any&all solo piano works/roaratorio (most have a hard time w/celtic leanings but...)/the later numbers pieces (for x number of players. start around 14 for a little denser variation). the truly adventurous can go for the 8CD spoken diary. stay away from the hatart recordings w/blum though. some of his renditions are a little dry... hope this helps ___________________________________ Reckankreuzungs Klankewerkzeuge & Company PO Box 382864 Cambridge, MA 02238 - 2864 is online @ http://www.tiac.net/users/sheket
