”the fact that we get music from
all three major periods of the
composer’s oeuvre make this a
nice point of entry for those who
wish an introduction to Cage’s
art ... The performances are very
good. The sound is excellent...”

”attractive anthology ... Salome
Kammer’s account of Aria is convincing,
and as literal as any I’ve
heard” (Gramophone)

“This latest issue in Dabringhaus
& Grimm‘s and Steffen Schleiermacher‘s
ongoing series of John
Cage works is a very important
one, bringing to the surface
some incredibly unknown works
as well as some better-known, in
performances and recordings of
shimmering beauty. Wonderful!”

“It is a committed and convincing
interpretation ... The best
currently available“ (Fanfare)

Posaune & Klavier

Two 5
Variations
Music for Two
Mike Svoboda, trombone
Steffen Schleiermacher, piano
„Wenn zwei ausgewiesene
Neue-Musik-Spezialisten zusammentreffen,
um sich dem Spätwerk
John Cages zu widmen,
kann nur Bemerkenswertes herauskommen.“
(FonoForum)
„Wenn … Mike Svoboda seine
Farbenwunder vollbringt, mikrotonal
neben der Intonation des
Flügels schwebend, merkt man,
dass einem diese Musik gefehlt
hat …“ (Die Zeit)
„Erst recht wird die „Music for
Two“ zum Vergnügen, weil
deren spontane Riffs und Phrasen
an eine Humoreske aus dem
Jazz denken lassen.“ (ensemble)
���
“few of the works on this disc
have been readily available until
now. The recording has all of the
immediacy and clarity one would
expect from MDG, and the texture
und shapes in Cage‘s music
leap out from your speakers in
full Technicolor.“ (musicwebinternational)
