The range of sounds is complex and bizarre, as much mechanical as musical. What instrument is playing? How many performers are there?After an imaginative album pairing Erik Satie and John Cage at the end of last year, pianist Bertrand Chamayou has returned with a recording devoted entirely to the music of the latter.Among his multifarious areas of experimentation Cage explored the possibilities of the \u201cprepared\u201d piano, which involved placing all manner of objects between the piano\u2019s strings \u2014 bolts, screws, pieces of rubber, woollen fabric, bamboo strips or coins. Many of his \u201cprepared\u201d piano works were written to be performed with dance and Chamayou has responded by devising a staged performance with choreographer \u00c9lodie Sicard that brings together a dozen of these pieces, dating from 1940 to 1945, under the title Cage2.That also forms the running order of this album. As Chamayou uses pianos prepared in different ways, no two pieces sound the same. \u201cMysterious Adventure\u201d opens with a virtuoso display of sounds, from dull thumps to pinging and bangs. \u201cIn the Name of the Holocaust\u201d evokes the distant tolling of bells. The short \u201cPrimitive\u201d sounds delicately Japanese, while \u201cDaughters of the Lonesome Isle\u201d feels little short of a solo concerto, the pianist aping the sonic variety of an orchestra.It is not often that pianists at the top level venture into this kind of material and Chamayou is to be congratulated for his sense of adventure.
