paul secor Posted June 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 But perhaps not a guy you'd want to meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Would probably love to meet him, just as long as there was an easy exit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rostasi Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) Will forever be grateful for his label of astounding interpretations of really great works: CP². There's about 2 dozen releases and every one is an absolute gem. The 3-LP set below changed my life and I remember loaning it out to anyone that I thought needed to have their life changed as well. Zukofsky and Cage got along very well. Zukofsky helped him realize what could be done with the violin - even tho Zukofsky claimed that the first Freeman Etudes that Cage had composed for him were "unplayable." Irvine Arditti, afterwards showed that they were indeed playable (saw him do this in concert - had to pick my jaw up off of the floor).

clifford_thornton Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Piano Space rules, as do the Zukofsky/Cage collaborations. the Louis Zukofsky scholarship issue is a bummer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
