"What emerges most forcefully is the precision of Cage's aural imagination, whether it's in his use of modal inflections in his vocal writing or in the minute care with which he specifies the objects to be inserted into the piano strings for a prepared piano. Nothing is generalised, and the performances by Lubimov and Pschenitschnikova take immense care over every nuance, without ever sacrificing any of the sense of the music's shape".

"Here is a set of exquisitely turned early miniatures, performed by two artists who recollect the powerful effect of Cage's visit to Russia in 1988. There are aphoristic settings of Gertrude Stein and EE Cummings sung by Natalia Pschenitschnikova, the concentrated Two Pieces for Piano played by Alexei Lubimov, who shines in the wonderful tintinnabulating sound of the prepared piano in Music for Marcel Duchamp ... Bali, folk music and popular song here; the disc shows Cage as a real composer".

"Lubimov kendte selv Cage, og når han med klaverstykket "Dream" indleder en rejse i den unge John Cages lytteværdige himmelrum af lyd, er det en drøm, som man aldrig bliver færdig med at forsvinde ind i, hvis man først får begyndt. En variation af "Dream" binder den fineste sløjfe på en bedøvende smuk 100-års-fejring".

"Vurdering: Tipp" - "Lubimov spielt tatsächlich in aller Zärtlichkeit, ohne an Klarheit einzubüssen, als romantische Träumerei".
