Was Cage right?

André Chaudron | Amsterdam, the Netherlands | 07/07/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"A lot of discussion has already been going on about Petr Kotik conducting 103 (the work is not supposed to be conducted at all). Whether one approves or not, I must admit that this is a wonderful performance of 103, a 90 minute orchestral work, one of Cage's many number pieces. Maybe future releases of the work might prove that the unconducted 103 sounds better. Maybe something for a third orchestral music release by MODE?For me though, the highlight of this CD is the performance of Atlas Eclipticalis with Winter Music in a two and a half hour version for all orchestral parts. Some performances of Atlas I have heard, couldn't keep my attention sharp for half an hour, but this one is extremely fascinating. Great CD's and interesting liner notes by James Pritchett."
