John Cage, As It Is
This recording opens so delicately, with a gentle solo piano it sounds like we’ve entered a strange world of otherness that eventually morphs into the soulful voice of Natalia Pschenitschnikova. This is an album to inspire thoughtfulness, and as each track gets steadily more contemporary in feeling and style these thoughts are allowed to head off into new and interesting directions. Not only a must for fans of contemporary music, but this is also a fantastic album for anyone looking for simply amazing music that will challenge and possible even enlighten you.
