Recorded live at Town Hall, NYC in May of 1958, this historic concert (organized by Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg) was a retrospective of Cage's work from 1934 to the present. Here Cage's interest in technology, Eastern philosophies, and the concept of "silence" and "chance" as related to composition come to the fore as he plays some of his most significant and controversial pieces of his career, several of which ("Six Short Inventions for Seven Instruments", "She Is Asleep", "Music for Carillon", and "Concerto for Piano and Orchestra") were performed here for the first time ever. Includes booklet with comments by Cage himself. Limited edition of 500 numbered copies.
