Product Description

Chronique amazon.fr

· la fois ludiques et subversives sont ces oeuvres de jeunesse de John Cage, composées entre 1939 et 1943. Dans la lignée de Satie et de Varèse, le musicien américain se fait le découvreur de territoires inconnus, où les silences sont aussi surprenants que les sons les plus incongrus. Pour Cage, il s'agit moins, en effet, d'organiser le chaos sonore que de s'y immerger avec délectation. Ces pièces interprétées par le Quatuor Helios sont de vraies petites "apocalypses tranquilles", comme dirait le poète écossais Kenneth White. --Michel Marmin

4.0 out of 5 stars Good performances and a great collection, July 9 2008
By Steward Willons - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wks For Perc (Audio CD)
The Helios Quartet turns out some nice performances of some of Cage's classic ensemble works. I love the philosophy of his middle and late periods, but I love the *music* of his early period best - the time when he was still using standard notation and writing out intricate parts with almost unrivaled rhythmic complexity.

The performances are fine. They're not the most inspired that I've heard, but they're technically solid and reasonably musical. They're more than adequate. The real reason to buy this disc is to have these important percussion works collected in one place. You can find a better recording of "Amores" or of the constructions, but then you need to assemble a collection of CDs to get everything. For those with a casual interest in Cage's influential percussion work, this may be the only collection you need. Cage enthusiasts may want to hunt down better performances, but this is still a very nice collection.

Cage's Music ***** (5 stars)
This performance ***1/2 (3.5 stars)
