New World Records, 2006 Chamber and Gamelan works The harrison works on this disc are absoultely fabulous. Particularly haunting was a 'concerto' for horn and gamelan ensemble.

Hungaroton, 1993 Extrovert & Glorious All of the pieces on this disc are excellent, but I wish to call your attention specially to the title piece.

Ecm Records, 2000 The Absolute Best of Cage! I have been recently revisiting the work of John Cage, from the early experiments with timbre and rhythm, through his aleatoric period and beyond.

New Albion Records, 1994 Finest Harrison CD that I Own I am a great fan of the varied career of Lou Harrison, perhaps the most eclectic of all American composers.

Koch Int'l Classics, 1999 A new disc of music from American composer Lou Harrison is always an occasion for joy. Harrison, perhaps more than any other American composer, has made the freest use of this century's many conflicting styles and modalities--including those from the Pacific Rim nations.
