Don't Miss This Lecture!, November 20, 2000
This review is from: John Cage: Works for Cello / Lecture on Nothing (Audio CD)
Never mind the cello pieces on this CD...the main payoff is the Lecture on Nothing. I have owned almost every CD of Cage's work and this one endures in my mind and in my life. Treat yourself to a literal, explicit version of 4'33" and get a copy of Lecture on Nothing. Caution: not for late night driving!

Cascades and simplicity meet a real committed virtuoso, April 4, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: John Cage: Works for Cello / Lecture on Nothing (Audio CD)
If you are a cellist or like cello music you may not like tis compendium of Cage Cello Works. But Uitti is the premiere solo Cellist of Europe. She engaged in a Marathon in New York many years ago where she cleaned the shelves of new cello music from Britten to Scelsi. Here you need to admire her formidable experience playing this music. She puts more into it and has more sensitivity and a pure "feel" if you can in Cage than say the Arditti ever will. "Etudes Borealis" is like this granite rock that all avant-garde cellists need to play, That's if they are serious.
