Start the revolution
Even people who like classical music tend to run screaming when they hear names like Penderecki, Ligeti and Cage. But it's hard to blame them. The majority of concert halls and classical music stations play it safe, programming little but such familiar composers as ...

Wergo Germany, 2000

Dizzying experiments by a brilliant maverick
A true compositional original, Conlon Nancarrow is best known for these mind-blowing pieces for player piano. Why this particular instrument? Because most of these short works are utterly unplayable by human beings, unless you are capable of say, depressing all 88 ...

Conlon Nancarrow, Ingo Metzmacher, ...

RCA, 1993

A fantastic testament to a great, long-neglected composer.
To put it bluntly, this is some of the most original and entertaining 20th century music you will ever hear. Nancarrow's innovative player piano studies were written from the late 1940s to the early '80s and were intended, among other things, to explore ideas that ...

Absolutely first rate! Performance & recording are excellent
I am far from knowledgable about music. However, this is a marvelous introduction to contemporary music as arranged for a string quartet. The vision and versatility of this group are really laid out here. The only piece that jars is "Purple Haze," which, sorry ...
