John CageFeaturing: Maro Ajemian
Sonates Et Interludes Pour Piano Préparé (LP)
1980 re-issue as a single LP on Harmonia Mundi's distinctively packaged "Musique d'abord" series of the seminal first album of music by Cage with his landmark 1946-48 compositions performed by Maro Ajemian, originally released in 1951 as a double LP set on Dial. French text.
condition (record/cover): NM / EX - Die-cut sleeve with insert in plastic bag.
A French pressing of John Cage's Sonatas And Interludes on Harmonia Mundi - the label better associated with early music and historical performance practice, whose occasional forays into the 20th-century repertoire carry a particular curatorial weight. That Sonatas And Interludes found a home here speaks to the work's gradual absorption into something like a mainstream classical repertoire, a process that took decades and remains incomplete. A document of the work's European reception.
