4'33" - The Music of Varèse, Chávez, Cage & Harrison (Amadinda Percussion Group)

Amadinda Percussion Group - 4'33" (The Music of Varèse, Chávez, Cage & Harrison) (1993)
Classical | EAC (APE, CUE & NO LOG) | 158 MB

Without a doubt this is the most splendid recording of 4'33" available to date. The Amadinda Percussion Group brings a sensitivity & brio to the piece that have rarely been approached. The tempo is a bit faster than usual but this is a welcome change that resonates closer to Cage's intention. The sound quality is first-rate: every nuance is finely chiselled to perfection while the dynamics are tracked with absolute fidelity.
