Scholarly discussion of the music of John Cage.

[Rob Haskins <>]

Let me echo Rod's enthusiasm for this release, which I reviewed for ARG (and which will appear in the Nov/Dec issue). As part of that review, I expressed the hope that Brian's great  project to record all of Cage's music reach fulfillment. And I'd like to gently urge all the Silencers to do what they can to support Mode.

Best,

Rob

Thank you Rod for the notice and recommendation of  Mode's new Cage release with pianist Thomas Schultz.

I am quite proud to say that this is not only the 10th volume of Cage's Piano Music in the series but also the 53rd volume in Mode's Complete John Cage Edition.

I only hope that with the severely diminished income in the record business today, that I will be able to realize the goal to record all of Cage's music on one label. Mode is well ono its way with that project but there are still quite a few pieces left to document, and some — like "Europeras 1 & 2" and some orchestral pieces — are expensive projects to realize. We have the possibility to record and film "Europeras 1 & 2" in the next year or so but have been unable to secure the funding needed to make this happen yet.

Thomas Schultz's "Works for Piano 10" (mode 304) is available direct from Mode for $14.99 + $3 shipping (within the USA) or as a CD quality download with PDFs direct from Mode for $12. Orders can be placed directly to us at mode at moderecords.com

Thank you for your continued interest and support,
Brian Brandt
Mode Records

Dear Cagenerators,

Just wanted to mention that, off and on, I’ve been listening to this new release

while re-reading the Cage, “Paisajes imaginarios, Conciertos & Musicircus” book.

Recording quality and performances are superb on the disc. You should check it out.
