JOHN CAGE : The Works For Saxophone 1

Modeレーベルのジョン・ケージ音楽シリーズ第24弾！
Art ZoydやText Of Light, Zeitkratzerでも活動するサックス奏者Ulrich Krieger演奏によるケージの後期サックス作品集。
'83年から'91年にかけて作曲されたジョン・ケージのサックスのための3つの作品「Four⁵」、「Five⁴」、「Hymnkus」とケージ公認のUlrich Krieger編曲の「龍安寺」と「Five」。
名曲「龍安寺」ももちろん素晴らしいですが、ラストはなんとMario BertonciniとReinhold Friedlも参加！
オススメです。
