Best Cage CD 21 April 2009
Format:Audio CD
Has the best versions of Bacchanale and In a Landscape by far. If you're only going to buy one John Cage CD, let it be Daughters of the Lonesome Isle. Boris Berman's Sonatas CD is also fantastic.

Incredible renditions of Cage piano pieces 22 Dec 1999
By Justin Oser - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Margaret Leng Tan, the pianist on this album, knew and played for John Cage himself for more than a decade. The insight that comes with such a relationship with the composer shines through on this album. I can scarcely imagine better versions of these wonderful piano pieces. The pieces span a variety of types of pianos (prepared piano, toy piano, regular piano, bowed piano) and moods. From the incredibly beautiful ("In a Landscape" is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard) to the aggressive ("Ophelia") to the minimalist ("Music for Piano #2), this album spans quite a bit of the possibilities for piano music. I highly recommend it, but should caution you that you must have an open mind to enjoy this--this could be unlike you might have heard a piano played before (or imagined it could be played). If you like this, I recommend "The Perilous Night/Four Walls," which also has Margaret Leng Tan playing piano.
Eaves Drop on a Luminous Affair of Spirit Between Cage & Tan 28 Jun 2010
By Lindsay N. Bowker - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have few regrets, but as I continue my journey into Cage's works I am beginning to regret that I was not old enough to be at Black Mountain when he was there..or that I didn't have the opportunity to know him as Margaret Leng Tan did years later. Now I am tempted to add to my very small list of regrets that I have not seen Margaret Leng Tan play Cage..that I don't know her. This is a lovingly, joyously compiled, beautifully interpreted selection of the many ways in which John Cage explored the possibilities of piano during a specific early time in his career ( 1940-1953). It includes the original work for prepared piano, Bacchanale, a suite for toy piano, the hauntingly beautiful "In a Landscape" and a piece, "Music For Piano #2", in which Ms. Tan, with Cage's enthusiastic endorsement, bowed certain sections with fishing line. They discussed this piece the day before he died in 1992. It is a great privilege, through this album, to eaves drop on a luminous affair of heart and mind between Tan and Cage.
