Prepared to Play Between the Strings

“Dianova’s new CD settles upon two of the most original composers of the 20th century — the Frenchman Erik Satie and the American Cage, with their ever-questioning and distinctly waggish senses of humour. … The two Cage works on the CD are the magnificently brooding The Perilous Night and the revels-to-end-all-revels of Bacchanale, recast as a duet with Sarah Watkins. … The final track, the third of the three Satie offerings, presents a few bars of the Frenchman’s Vexations as a 14-minute chill-out on the celesta.”
