John Cage: 4' 33"

[hmvman]

Works fine here (i7 Windows system). Is anyone else having problems accessing it?

It's just 4cm and 33mm of blank on my screen.

Worked fine on my PC but not on the IPad.

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

I think you'll find this version was omitted as inadmissible since it only lasts 4'32"

It all depends on the interpretation of the pause at the end of the second movement.

[Ein Heldenleben]

I think they should do it . Eminently clippable and easy to edit from a production point of view .One could comment on level of tape hiss on early recordings . Even in silence there is a present acoustic. The work will sound very different in the Royal Festival Hall from my own recent recording in my living room . The sound of my breathing hitting the strings of my Blüthner boudoir grand - really quite remarkable. No two performances can ever be the same …There is no silence really ….

For the insomniac, they say counting sheep is a good cure. Tosh. The Cage works a treat....and I always drop off before the end.

Ah well 4’ 33” has never been a big part of my listening, Bryn. I’ll look it up via my laptop dreckly! Strange how this problem has only presented itself recently!

Too loud, man!

[Barbirollians]

My last performance included an ensemble of the washing machine , the cat demanding breakfast , my son bouncing on a trampoline and an Amazon delivery next door.

Good that you got into the spirit of the work and listened attentively.

Morecambe & Wise, with André Previn?

"The rest is silence."

The Bard at the cutting edge of artistic developments once again?

[Sorry to lower the tone (still further) but can anyone recommend a Highlights disc for those of us with short attention-spans?]

Yes, of sorts: the first movement only features on this compilation.
