Yes, I love this recording of it.
It may be just because it was my introduction to it back then
when it was released on a single LP (Vol. 2).

The Hidalgo/Marchetti/Simonetti version from '74 of the 
amplified toy piano work is wonderful as well, but, yes, I know,
it's a different work.

Jeanne Kirstein recorded it on a 2-LP set of Cage's prepared piano music on Columbia's Music of our Time series.  It's been reissued on New World, but the original set came out in 1970 (according to the All Music Guide -- the LP isn't listed at discogs).

does anyone know of an earlier recording than that of bernd wiesemann
of the suite for toy piano, on a toy piano, or of concert performances of that piece on
toy piano, other than Cage's, before 1979 ?
