«Sonatas and Interludes for Prepared Piano» is the album by John Cage performed by Boris Berman, released in 1999 on Naxos, on CD.
John Cage wrote this cycle between 1946 and 1948 for prepared piano, with screws, bolts, rubber and plastic between the strings to achieve percussive effects. The sonatas and interludes contrast white and black emotions around a central serenity, with echoes of Hindu thought. Includes Sonata I, Sonata IX and the Fourth Interlude.
Recorded at the Church of St. John Chrysostom in Newmarket (Canada) in July 1998 with 20-bit technology. Total duration: 63:36. Catalog number: 8.554345.
Will appeal to classical and contemporary music listeners seeking an introduction to the prepared piano and to twentieth-century American avant-garde.
