| Description: | â??He started a revolution â?¦ and in doing so he opened the door to Minimalism, performance art and virtually every other branch of the musical avant-garde.â? That New York Times verdict on the American composer John Cage (1912-1992) finds further resonance in Bertrand Chamayouâ??s album CAGE2.
Continuing his recorded exploration of Cageâ??s music â?? which began with the pairing of Cage and Satie on his Erato album Letters to Erik Satie â?? the French pianist performs 20 dance-inspired pieces for prepared piano. Cage invented the prepared piano in 1940, when he was writing a score for the dancer-choreographer Syvilla Fort. To produce to a variety of timbres and percussive effects, he ingeniously inserted small objects â?? such as bolts, screws, coins, and pieces of rubber or fabric â?? between the strings of a grand piano.
Dance was an important theme in the composerâ??s life and career, and the title CAGE2 is taken from a stage show that Bertrand Chamayou and dancer-choreographer Ã?lodie Sicard toured around France. Even as a purely aural experience, Cageâ??s music, with its iridescent timbres, insistent rhythms and quirky spirit, is mesmerising in its effect.
- Cage2 is a captivating CD album by the acclaimed French pianist Bertrand Chamayou, released under the prestigious Erato label. This recording pays homage to the innovative American composer John Cage, featuring a selection of his most influential piano works. Chamayou's interpretation brings out both the experimental spirit and subtle lyricism inherent in Cage's music, making this album an essential listen for contemporary classical enthusiasts. Bertrand Chamayou has established himself as one of today's leading pianists with multiple awards including several Victoires de la Musique Classique and critically acclaimed recordings for major labels. The manufacturer, Erato, is renowned worldwide for its commitment to high-quality classical music productions and collaborations with top-tier artists. |
