Extractions: John Cage: Concerto for Prepared Piano and Chamber Orchestra, Concert for Piano and Orchestra, Fourteen . David Tudor, piano; Ensemble Modern, Ingo Metzmacher, conductor; Stephen Drury, piano; Callithumpian Consort of the New England Conservatory, Charles Peltz, conductor. Mode Records, Mode 57, 1997. One compact disc. The Piano Concertos disc covers a wonderfully wide range of material: three different sound worlds of Cage's output, all in excellent performances. The fact that the repertoire focuses on Cage's grievously under-recorded medium-to-large ensemble compositions is an added pleasure. The disc contains many surprises, beginning with its title (who thinks of Cage as a composer of three piano concertos?) and a moving on to the realization of its content. The disc opens with the beautiful sounds of Concerto for Prepared Piano and Chamber Orchestra . A well-rehearsed orchestra plays in tune and with good tone, taking loving care with details. Even the blend with the solo prepared piano, so problematic with this concerto featuring a muted soloist with a full symphony orchestra, is carried off with finesse. The exotic compounds of instrumental sound in the orchestra complement with logic the metal and wood agregates of the stopped notes in the piano. When the soloist's prepared notes combine with orchestral sounds, the results are simply magical.
