Product description

John Cage's innovative and captivating compositions are reimagined in a groundbreaking recording, 'John Cage: Guitar', performed by the acclaimed guitarist Aaron Larget-Caplan. This 2018 release on Stone Records features 14 tracks, including world premiere recordings of officially sanctioned arrangements of Cage's early to mid-career pieces, dating from 1933 to 1950.

The album presents a unique blend of avant-garde, minimalism, experimental, and classical genres, showcasing Cage's eclectic style. Larget-Caplan's perceptive arrangements, including 'A Room', '3 Easy Pieces', and 'In a Landscape', reveal wonderful dimensions of the music, complementary to the original piano versions. The recording also features collaborations with violinist Sharan Leventhal in '6 Melodies for Violin & Keyboard' and a prepared guitar duo in 'Bacchanale'.

With a duration of 54 minutes, 'John Cage: Guitar' is an amazingly beautiful recording that will appeal to both aficionados of John Cage's work and those looking to discover more about this influential composer. The album's quiet, haunting, and regal soundscapes create a wonderful recital of one of the great composers of the 20th century. Released on 1 November 2018, 'John Cage: Guitar' is a must-listen for anyone interested in exploring the intersection of classical music and experimental sounds.
