Those of you interested in 20th and 21st century classical music may want to audition these new CDs in Fisher Music Library (Marquis Hall 105):
John Cage Complete Sonatas and Interludes for Prepared Piano - Boris Berman, pianist
On February 13, Guest Artist, Patricia von Blumroder will perform the complete John Cage Sonatas and Inludes "LIVE" in D-K Auditorium. So it would be good to listen to those Cage pieces that feature prepared piano in the performances. Cage specifies that bolts, wedges and erasers be placed at specific locations for special effect that transform the piano, as we know it. These pieces were written in 1946 to 1948 and were very controversial at the time.
Other new CDs that arrived today are:
Xenakis - Metastasis
Elainie Lillios - entre espaces
The Fogg Project - Ryan Fogg, pianist
Four Cds by former Cedar Rapidian, and faculty member @University of Michigan, Michael Daugherty: Raise the Roof; Metropolis Symphony;Rout 66; Fire and Blood
In addition, our own Professor of Bassoon, Greg Morton plays on his "Wizards Finale" CD of double reed music.
Check them out!!!!!
