Digital Booklet
"Performers were of a calibre that kept this listener in a state of continual astonishment. Every sound sounded considered, alive, worthy of our wonder." - Los Angeles Times This Grammy-nominated album was inspired by the discovery of a long lost 1962 recording of John Cage reading his piece 45’ for a Speaker, combined with the recent technical ability to present these five compositions in every conceivable combination and an infinite number of variations, in accordance with the composer’s wishes. Cage is joined on this unique presentation by Aron Kallay and Vicki Ray on prepared pianos, Tom Peters on double bass and percussionist William Winant.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
