John Cage

Recorded live at Town Hall, NYC in May of 1958, this historic concert was a retrospective of Cage’s work from 1934 to the present. Here Cage’s interest in technology, Eastern philosophies, and the concept of “silence” and “chance” as related to composition come to the fore as he plays some of his most significant and controversial pieces of his career. This concert created quite a stir for its time, with many journalists and audience members loudly complaining “this isn’t music”! Includes booklet with comments by Cage himself.
