Great copy of Yuji Takahashi 1977 solo piano LP on the highly collectable ALM Records woth three John Cage pieces plus J.S. Bach's Toccata No. 2 In C-Minor.
** condition: EX/EX (no OBI) ** Yuji Takahashi LP of esoteric piano music on legendary ALM, performing John Cage as well as J.S. Bach! It may seem curious to assemble two such composers on one album, two classical composers in their own right. The master of the baroque and the adventurer of contemporary sound. Both steeped in spirituality and both fascinated by the workings of numbers and mathematics; their music often the result of formal games with names, letters, numbers. Bach serving his sponsors and above all his God, Cage revering the manifold appearances of chance and indetermination. One of the best version ever recorded of the 1969 masterpiece “Cheap Imitation”!
