4.0 out of 5 stars Be Prepared!, 9 May 2001
By Mr. Dylan T. Hayden - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Those who have never heard Cage's music for prepared piano may be surprised by the beauty and interest of the resulting works. Far from being a mere avant-garde gimmick or conceptual contrivance, Cage's careful manipulations are an authentic augmentation of musical resource, resulting in an inimitable and enjoyable sound world. The music itself inhabits a somewhat Satie-like realm of alternating meditation and whimsy, but it is delightfully enhanced by the range of novel and fascinating sounds produced by inserting objects between the strings and under the hammers of an ordinary piano. These sounds range from metallic chimes recalling glockenspiels or musical boxes to percussive thumps evoking African thumb pianos, woodblocks, and bongo drums. The result is a kind of miniature musical utopia, a gentle blending of the naive (toy music, Satie) and the primitive ("ethnic" rhythms and percussive effects). Performance and recording, though perhaps not of the very highest standard, are thoroughly enjoyable. This disc is a notable bargain and an ideal introduction to the work of a seminal figure in modern music.
