Out of stock

Featured compositions: "Atlas Eclipticalis' (1961, for chamber ensemble); "Winter Music" (1957, for 3 pianos); "Atlas Eclipitcalis" (1961, for orchestra); "Winter Music" (1957, for 20 pianos). Cage's relationship with the Cornish Institute in Seattle dates back to the 1930s, when he taught there and performed as accompanist for many dance pieces. Cornish was also the scene of several of his musical discoveries and innovations. Cage's celebrated return to the Cornish Institute in 1983 led to these recordings of his conducting 'Atlas Eclipticalis' performed simultaneously with 'Winter Music' -- a rare opportunity to hear Cage perform his own works. Two complete 80-minute long performances are presented here, captured live in concert. Only one copy available.
