John Cage - Two4 brilliance, feeling for the very soul of Cage s material to make every nuance speakvolumes, and in sho player, Mayumi Miyata and pianist stephen drury he has http://www.mode.com/catalog/088cage.html
Extractions: One of Cage's preoccupations in his later years was with the question of a composition's "identity", and how that identity is maintained through radically different performances. In the two performances of the single piece recorded here, that question is raised in ways both subtle and obvious. The choice of piano or sho will fundamentally alter the sound of the music. The score consists of a set of materials in six categories, three for each instrument, one of which is silence. Both the violin and sho are encouraged to make extremely long held notes, often with microtonal shifts. The pianist can choose to play from a set of ascending pitches, as well as "extended lullabies" which are modified from Satie's Vexations.

Extractions: Nobody who attended yesterday's Piano and Friends recital will ever forget it. The superhuman pianist was Stephen Drury, a celebrated contemporary music interpreter who teaches at Boston's New England Conservatory. He conquered, from memory, a nearly unconquerable creation: American Frederic Rzewski's 36 variations on ``The People United Will Never Be Defeated,'' a song by Chilean Sergio Ortega. The now-exiled Ortega wrote ``People United'' in 1973, months before Gen. Agusto Pinochet's coup. Before Drury's performance, Tucson's Sons of Orpheus sang this moving leftist anthem in Spanish and with the zeal of revolutionaries. Grayson Hirst directed forcefully. Structurally, Rzewski's ``People United'' variations first quote the Ortega song. Six sets of variations follow, with some variations summarizing earlier material. The result is ``an aural image of `the people united' - individuals in all their diversity coming together bit by bit to form a union,'' said Drury.
