Perfect album not to play in cafes.......2004-09-30

this (...) totally rocks the mic. especially enjoyable are the monteverdi selections. i mean, if you're a dumbass little punk you're probably not gonna like it... but hey! why can't dumbass little punks be more like alex de large? you know... with some class... why do they all have to be like dim?

ABSOLUTELY THE GREATEST SOPRANO OF THE 20TH CENTURY.......2003-12-02

I had the great good fortune to hear Ms Berberian live in the early seventies perform most of the music included on this disk.
The event was one of the high points of my childhood.

As at home singing avant-garde as she was singing pop and classical music, many composers wrote for Ms. Berberian simply because there were no other singers accomplished enough to bring their musical visions alive.

This disk offers up a wonderful cross-section of all of the
kinds of music in Cathy's vast repertoire. I recommend it most highly

Greatest Soprano of the 20th Century(?).......2002-06-22

It's incredible to me that the name Cathy Berberian is so unknown today. Listen to the performance of Debussy's Chansons de Bilitis; it's the greatest recorded vocal performance I've ever heard. Throughout the disk, she lives up to the title. Rather than sing in big soprano mode, she is a vocal chameleon who adapts to the subject matter, from Monteverdi to Lennon & McCartney to John Cage. You will not be disappointed.

A very inconsistent Cage collection.......2003-11-22

Paul Hillier, formerly of the Hilliard Ensemble, is best known for his performances of early music and of the so-called holy minimalists. In this disc he directs an eclectic collection of Cage performances, with distinctly mixed results.

Litany for the Whale takes the form of a call and response between two antiphonally divided singers. The text uses just the letters of "whale" and only five pitches. The first singer sings variations on the original articulation of these pitches--which become more extensive as the work progresses--while the second singer responds to these by repeating the original five notes unmodified. It's a haunting work, though I find 26 minutes of unaccompanied monody a little too much to take.

The two Arias bring very opposite results. I like Hillier's vocal histrionics in the second Aria, and the electronic effects and storm recordings are very much to the point. However, the recording of the first Aria is a disaster. For some reason Hillier decides to split the performance between seven voices, thus ruining the consistent flow of the work, whose effect very much depends on the fact that no single singer could possibly perform the whole work idiomatically. Nobody has yet rivalled Cathy Berberian in this seminal work, and this performance doesn't even come close.

The rest of the works are rather slight. Five impresses in its slow, meditative textures, while Solo for Voice #22 is an intriging exploration of electronically modified breathing sounds. The Wonderful Widow of Eighteen Springs and The Year Begins to be Ripe are two short songs, using the same three pitches and the sound of a performer tapping on a closed piano. They don't outlast their charm, unlike the irritating mock-Irishry of Experiences #2.

Of the entertaining poetry cycle 36 Mesostics re and not re Marcel Duchamp, Cage later turned 15 to music using the same three notes of the two songs earlier mentioned. This performance features Terry Riley (yes, him) reading the unset poems and Hillier singing the musical ones. The result is slight, and rather gimmicky.

This is a very uneven disc. If you want Litany for the Whale, it can be recommended, but there are so many other, superior Cage discs on the market that have a much better claim on any listener's attention.

Expertly rendered Cage.......2003-06-21

John Cage is known for being a raucous composer, but he had a gentler side as well, and both sides are present on this marvelous recording. It begins with what is the disc's highlight, in my opinion: the remarkable "Litany for the Whale." The longest piece on this disc, it is scored for two voices, and has a call and response structure to it. The two male singers, recorded in a resonant chamber, are given five pitches to sing, one assigned to each letter in the word "whale." This is calm, spare, meditative music, unlike anything in the modern repertoire that I have heard. It is really beautiful.

"Five" is another "quiet" Cage piece. In it five men and women sing wordless, sustained pitches, reminiscent at times of Ligeti's "Lux Aeterna." "The Wonderful Widow of Eighteen Springs" is one of my favorite Cage songs. It's a melodic work that features text by James Joyce and has the singer tapping a closed piano, as if a percussion instrument. "Experience #2" is a similar work, melodic and without percussive sounds. A female voice sings a lovely text, penned by ee cummings, which is set off by some lyrical humming as well.

Cage's whackier, more comical side is on display here as well, in the "Arias" and the "Solo for Voice." These voice stretching pieces are fascinating, and expertly rendered here, the electronics integrated in a polished and smooth manner. I can't emphasize enough how entertaining these pieces are.

Paul Hillier's group is ordinarily associated with Renaissance and Baroque era music (as well as music by Arvo Part). It is thrilling to hear these rarefied voices in this avant garde repertoire. More please!

Amazon.com essential recording

John Cage's vocal music helped free the voice from strictly narrative-- and strictly tonal--roles. Reaching as far back as 1942, and as far forward as 1990, this anthology of Cage's vocal works brilliantly shows the full range of shapes the composer wanted for musical voice. The title piece is the most recent and relies heavily on two voices shifting pitches in a rich, polyphony-tinged flow. So much here is vital Cage: from his adaptation of phrases from Finnegan's Wake to Riley reading the "36 Mesostics re and not re Marcel Duchamp," to the outlandish, electronics-infused Aria originally written for Kathy Berberian. Paul Hillier performs these works with his Theatre of Voices ensemble, drawing richly on their early music chops and textural acuity. -- Andrew Bartlett

Customer Reviews:

Great recording.......2007-04-22

Don't base your opinion of this CD solely off of what some of the other reviewers have said here. Yes, parts of the CD are strange, and yes, some of it is not as accessible as the majority of classical music from the former centuries. But that is precisely what makes this music great. Music doesn't have to be in the form of a sonata or a symphony to have lasting quality. John Cage was one of the people who saw this, and went forth on his own way towards musical enlightenment. Some may not like it, (like the aforementioned reviewers,) but there is still much to be had from listening to his music. That being said, I think this CD is an interesting take on Cage's vocal music. The Theatre of Voices ensemble lend a great early-music sense to these pieces. This sense makes for an interesting and powerful combination of new and old, which is hard to find in the majority of modern music. Much of this recording creates a relaxed mood, especially the "Litany for the Whale" and "Experiences No. 2." A great recording overall, and a worthy contribution to the huge bulk of Cage CD's out there already.

Rather good, actually...........2006-09-24

I really like this CD. The title track is amongst the most haunting composition I've ever heard. The songs The Wonderful Widow of Eighteen Springs, Five, and Experiences No. 2 are quite beautiful. Aria No. 2 is quite strange (with even stranger vocals), but overall it doesn't diminish the work in anyway. Granted, I'm not a Cage expert (I only have a few recordings of his), but I think this is rather good....

go listen to a sonata.......2001-03-04

If I could have given this CD 0 stars, I would have. I do not own it, I merely listened to audio selection #5 up above. That was sufficient to remind me of the inherent problem with contemporary composition. The solo for voice blurs the line between stupidity, and rebelliousness. Certainly Cage made some worthwhile philosophical points, but I consider it an insult to the CD that it was forced to have this garbage imprinted onto it. I applaud 20th century composers for attempting to write music in the face of such overwhelming quality from the past. When what they write is this bad however, I must criticize.

One of Cage's least accessible recordings yet........2000-09-21

As much as I may like to, it's impossible for me to give this recording a favorable review. John Cage is not a bad composer, in fact, he's written quite a few marvelous pieces, like his "Sonatas and Interludes for Prepared Piano." This is cutting-edge music that is taking risks with every note, and yet it is fantastically listenable.

Unfortunately, "Litany for the Whale" doesn't share these characteristics. It is cutting-edge, certainly, and it takes a great deal of risks. But it isn't listenable. At times it's practically painful to listen to it, simply because it is so strange. Cage's twisted nihilistic philosophy is all to evident here. There is no real attempt to make it musical or listenable, and many attempts are made to make it unusual.

John Cage has written good music. This is not some of it.

Hard to believe that as early as 1958 there was a 25-year retrospective concert of John Cage's music. But this 3-CD set documents both the concert and its meaning for the history of New Music. Organized by no less than Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg and Emile de Antonio, the event sparked heated controversy--some of it documented in the crowd's reaction to Cage's early tape- music piece, Williams Mix. The expansive booklet accompanying the CDs includes loads of prescient commentary, much of it from Cage himself. Most telling is the simple formulation: "New Music. New Listening. Just an attention to the activity of sounds." Cage's earliest-prepared piano sonatas are abbreviated with clangorous, percussive results, and the Concerto for Piano and Orchestra sprawls noisily in myriad directions. The sound is broad and warm for a 40-year-old live recording, and this is a cornerstone document of post-World War II art. --Andrew Bartlett

The ideal starting point if you are new to Cage.......2002-12-11

This is perhaps one of the most important documents of American Music ever recorded, the Composer John Cage will undoubtedly be veiwed in future eras as not only the most important American composer of all time, but one of the most important Composers of all time. Until this time, also the work of Edgard Varese, Pierre Schaeffer and Karlheinz Stockhausen, all music in "the west" written after Bach could have been found in Bach, it was even said if all music was lost as long as Bach remained it could all be discovered again. Here's where everything changes. To really appreciate Cage's music it is best to hear him or David Tudor perform or "conduct" it, they are both onboard here for this excellent three C.D. set. Most of Cage's major works are represented here, his percussion pieces, his prepared piano, even his tape music. Start here, then get Indeterminancy, Roaratorio, more preapared piano pieces, and Cartridge music. But DO start here, there are too many poor interpretations of Cage's music available, you can't go wrong with this. And if you already know Cage's music but don't own this, then you should be ashamed of yourself.

A primary document of the American avant-garde.......1999-04-10

It was painters Jasper Johns and Bob Rauschenberg who helped arrange this, what today is a monumental document of the American avant-garde. And this was in the late Fifties a time when these American artists had very little money. Here we have all the Cage classics. The "Sonatas and Interludes" for pre-pared piano speaks for itself. Cowell suggested this idea to Cage. So Cage while working on dance accompaniments where no percussion instruments could be played,saw the availability of a piano. He began placing various screws and erasers between the strings. The sound is gamelan-like with thuds,knocks,clings and pings. But also very beautiful even enchanting. Also "Williams Mix" is here a very early electronic piece made from the ancient art of splicing tape together in an indeterminate fashion. I believe Earle Brown had helped. "The Wonderful Widow of Eighteen Springs" is also fascinating where the pianist closes the piano lid to strike 5 various parts of the front piano seated. The effect is not quite bongo-like more dull and thudy with a disarming folksy plain vocal lines singing Joyce. Pure simplicity was an early Cage fascination which has not lost its power to evoke. The mammoth "Concert for Piano" is also here a seminal work conceived of various graphic(almost encyclopedic) procedural ways of playing. Cage had identified some 40 odd ways of attacking,rolling verticalities and horizontialities on the piano keyboard. The work is also a pure graphic feast for the eyes, a delight. The orchestral accompaniment(we really cannot call it that) is made of independent solos,trombone,violin with no direct synchronization. And can be played with or without the piano or these various instruments. But the effect can be anarchistic(non-political) mesmerizing,humorous,dead serious all simultaneously,or not,depending on the performer's energy levels. Cage had opened a chasm of libertarian performing and conceptual creative fluidity that hasn't been closed yet. His open creativity continues to inspire and redirect itself through succeeding generations. This is a monumental document from the earliest days of the high avant-garde reflecting the full scope of these new aesthetic freedoms,or a turn away from an aesthetic object. Perhaps we will know someplace in between.

Harold Blumenfeld: "Rilke for Voice & Guitar".......2000-03-09

This CD set includes "Rilke for Voice & Guitar" by Harold Blumenfeld. The composer submits this review of the work by Donal Henahan in the New York Times. "In Harold Blumenfeld's austerely beautiful 'Rilke', a cycle of three songs, soprano Rosalind Rees sang superbly, with a dulcet tone, unusual attention to dynamic subtleties, and flawless pitch. The songs, with the guitar softening contemporary asperities that a piano sometimes exaggerates, made their lonely, pained point with the utmost precision. The guitarist, David Starobin, performed with exemplary technique and great sensitivity as accompanist."
