Nora Skuta - prepared piano
SACD/CD hybrid multichannel
One of the most original ideas of American experimental composer John Cage is 4 minutes and 33 seconds of the on-stage silence. Recording of gentle Sonatas and Interludes for prepared piano were highly rated by the British magazine Classic FM: "Nora Skuta has made something of a speciality of the piece, even working with Cage himself, and she unlocks the enigmatic mechanism and sly humour of his writing with pellucid clarity. (...) Cage would have love it - don´t hesitate!"

K originálnym nápadom amerického experimentátora Johna Cagea patria napríklad 4 minúty a 33 sekúnd pódiového mlčania. Nahrávku krehkých Sonát a interlúdií pre preparovaný klavír vysoko ocenil britský magazín Classic FM: „Akoby pod dohľadom Cagea vdýchla Nora Skuta nahrávke osobitosť, objavujúc kľúč k tajomnému mechanizmu a lišiackemu humoru priezračne vrytého do diela. (...) Neváhajte – toto by sa Cageovi určite páčilo!“
