All Genres > Classical > Contemporary > JOHN CAGE: One4, Four [all versions], Twenty-Nine / Fong, Krummel, Freeman, Crawford REVIEW QUOTES: Ingvar Loco Nordin, Sonoloco Record Reviews, 2005 ... a shadow of silence itself, a sound shadow ... fire around ice - still days in Icelandic opposites ... Massimo Ricci, Touching Extremes, 2005 ... surprising side of the American composer ... a continuum reminiscent of static minimalists -- Phill Niblock comes to mind ... Randy Nordschow, NewMusicBox, January, 2005 ... John Cage used every gadget available to him ... the recording (medium) manages to capture an aura of austere beauty. Jerry Bowles, Sequenza21, February, 2005 ... even in George Bush's dumbed-down America there are people ... who believe that ideas matter ... Dan Warburton, Paris Transatlantic, March, 2005 There's something distinctly ominous ... gloomy timpani rolls and eerie percussion whooshes behind a curtain of thick static string drone. Philip Clark, The Wire, March, 2005 Twenty-Nine moves as though by stealth ... strings fuse into a seamless meta-instrument ... brusque percussion rolls add a tangy second dimension. Raymond Tuttle, Classical Net, April, 2005 Twenty-nine ... one might even call it "industrial," ... reminds me of Ligeti's .... Atmosphères, but if ... dipped in liquid nitrogen. Hubert Culot, MusicWeb, April, 2005 ... a huge cluster of varying density ... not unlike ... Ligeti in, say, Atmospheres and Lontano. Twenty-Nine is quite impressive ... Rob Haskins, American Record Guide, September/October, 2005 In Four, the artists play with more vibrancy than the Ardittis ... One4 and Twenty-nine are revelations ... Brian Olewnick, Bagatellen, January, 2006 Twenty-Nine -- what a stunner! ... an omnipresent flux, a rich, vibrant field of sound of apparently endless variety and texture.
