5 out of 5 stars Silence please!.......2006-08-30

My only reason for buying this CD is the track 4:33 by Frank Zappa. 4:33 minutes of total silence, well almost total silence because you can hear a little background noices in the control room of Frank. It is a very interesting cd. But if you are not a fan of Zappa or Cage, and you like to hear music I say: buy something else. If you are ready for an experiment: buy this one or the CD Roaratorio.

5 out of 5 stars Georgia Stone the best antiwar composition to date.......2002-12-15

The whole collection is interesting. However, the great moment of this collection is the Ono contribution Georgia Stone. It's a fluxus symphony. Never have I heard a more poignant antiwar piece. It rates in power and beauty to Henryk Gorecki's Symphony #3 with soprano Dawn Upshaw. If anyone ever doubted the genius of Yoko Ono as being relevant and an artist of the highest calibre then listen to this masterpiece and you'll be jolted into her energy as an artist. Yoko, give us more of this kind of music.

5 out of 5 stars unknown..but i'm real excited.......2001-06-05

Jspark wrote a review that totally grabbed my intrest..I did my senior art history project on John Cage..using random sheets of paper for the lecture. the idea of hitting the "random button" is a great idea..and the idea of running two disks at once is even neater..being a big fan of just about everybody on the cd..especially Laurie Anderson doesnt hurt either... I haven't heard it yet, but i think i'll be sticking with the 5 star rating.

5 out of 5 stars What? 183 tracks? What for? There is a reason..........1999-08-03

It might be bewildering at first. The first disc has 98 tracks; the second, 85. If you listen straight through, you do not perceive any discontinuity. A collection of John Cage pieces performed by friends, collegues, and admirers. Frank Zappa (American composer [complete biographical blurb that he provided]) contributed 4'33". Laurie Anderson tells a few Merce Cunningham tales. Seems like a fun tribute from the git-go. But wait! (And this is where the fun begins!) Switch your CD player to the shuffle (random) mode. Now look what happens. It goes from, say, Yoko Ono's piece to the Kronos to the Moraz prepared piano performance to Ken Nordine's narration - all in the matter of seconds. It is a great to homage to Cage himself with the great use of the random chance operations that he might have enjoyed. Every performance of this disc becomes a unique experience (just like Cage). For even more fun, try playing both discs at the same time (provided, of course, you have the means; if not, improvise). Or add another sound source as well, like, say, the radio, or the television very low, or a tape of white noise. The possibilities are endless. I had the pleasure of trying this one day with FOUR players going on simulataneously: two with these discs, another with Miles Davis far in the background, the fourth with a disc of bird calls. It was quite a fun sound environment and I would not hesitate to try it again. But that was my experience. Your experience may be different.

        4 out of 5 stars An Interesting Recording Archive.......2003-06-28

        I read about George Antheil before I heard his music. Mr. Antheil lived in Paris during the 1920s and there exists a photograph of him climbing the wall of the building he lived in (above the famous Shakespeare and Company). Since that time, I have gotten to know the music of George Antheil from the excellent recordings by Hugh Wolff, so I was interested in
        hearing more of his music.

        The two discs in this set were issued for the Antheil centennial and provide us with an intimate glimpse of the composer. Collected here are the only recordings Antheil made of his own music. The Valentine Waltzes are charming and sound a bit like the preludes of Dimitri Shostakovich, a comparison that has been made of Antheil's music. These are followed by a
        setting of Shelly fragments for voice and piano which was well performed but not necessarily a work that will be a favorite of mine. The orchestral works, the McKonkey Ferry Overture and Fifth Symphony are well played and are marvelous works. The symphony compares well with the recording by Hugh Wolff and the sound is quite good. The second CD starts of with Two Odes
        of John Keats for speaker and piano, with Mr. Antheil at the piano and Vincent Price as the speaker. This recording is probably of more interest for the participation of Vincent Price. The Odes are well performed and recorded but is also something I would not listen to very often. There is
        a short piece from a ballet called 'Capitol of the World' played and introduced by George Antheil. This is quite tantalizing and I wish I could hear more. Next, are four songs written for his son Peter in 1942, which Mr. Antheil recorded on his own 78-disc recorder. The quality of the recording is not very good but are clear enough. The songs are stories
        written for Peter and set to music; they offer a more intimate look at Mr. Antheil as he sings and accompanies himself on the piano. I am not sure if George Antheil even thought these recordings would be published; they are intimate and were obviously done with some fun in mind. There also is an interview with George Antheil from 1958, the year before his death, where he provides a complete and candid biography of himself.

        There are three tracks recorded on this CD that I have trouble justifying in this collection. Two are news items from the Second World War that Mr. Antheil recorded on his disc player, the last is a 20 minute interview with Hannah Adler and Norman Fox concerning the SPA record company that recorded the music on these discs. Since they do not directly concern Mr. Antheil's music I cannot justify their being here.

        This is an interesting set for someone who has a deep interest in George Antheil's music but I consider the three tracks I mentioned as a big drawback. I hope that record companies take a good look at George Antheil's music and record more of it. In this regard, I must note the Hugh Wolff has recorded
        1, 4, 5 and 6 of George Antheil's six. I hope to see the 2nd and 3rd someday.
