Live recording from the “Yuji Takahashi Piano Recital: Bach and Cage” held at Kanagawa Prefectural Music Hall on 30 May 1974. Originally released on LP in 1977, this work is now reissued on CD and for download. The Cage works include: Cheap Imitation, employing chance operations; Metamorphoses, an early work utilising serial manipulation; and The Seasons, ballet music choreographed by Merce Cunningham expressing India's traditional seasonal perspective. In Bach's Toccata No. 2 in C minor, two distinct tempos create a striking contrast in musical expression. Takahashi Yuji was 35 at the time of recording. This is an album where one is utterly captivated by his uniquely incisive and unparalleled performance.
