Number Pieces / Apartment House

Individual card wallets with original artwork by Arvinda Gray
A 4-disc box-set with Apartment House playing all of John Cage’s ‘number pieces’ for mid-size ensembles (from ‘Five’ to ‘Fourteen’, with ‘Four5’ as an added extra, along with alternative versions of three of the pieces). These extraordinarily beautiful works were all composed in the last 5 years of the composer’s life, as Cage approached his 80th birthday. These recordings by Apartment House are the first recordings for 15 years of almost all of the pieces. An essential release of wonderful but somewhat neglected music
