John Cage (Voce)
Floraleda Sacchi (Arpa, Arpa preparata, Arpa giocattolo, Voce, Orologio)

Ho letto “Silence” per la prima volta quando avevo 15 anni. Mi sono subito innamorata dell’atteggiamento e delle idee di John Cage. Ha reso la mia vita migliore e leggo, suono e penso spesso alle sue idee. Mi fa sentire bene e mi sintonizza con l’ambiente. Grazie John e buon compleanno!
Floraleda Sacchi, 9/5/12.

RECENSIONI

The Independent   ★★★★
“There’s something about the Zen-garden aspect of John Cage’s music that lends itself particularly well to these interpretations by the Italian harpist Floraleda Sacchi. The instrument is especially effective in the more obviously “beautiful” pieces such as “Dream” and “In a Landscape”, where the undulating, intertwining figures have the same serene intensity as on piano, but are less overtly soothing, always poised on a sharper edge.
The paperclips and cards inserted between strings for the prepared-harp piece “Primitive” produce a buzzy, less percussive timbre than in prepared-piano versions. There’s also one of the noisiest versions of the famous silent piece “4’33″”, thanks presumably to the breeze blowing through the harpstrings, Aeolian-style.” (Andy Gill)

The harp of Floraleda Sacchi it’s an embodiment of the humility, assuredness and perception of Cage’s own musicology. Each of the works here is meticulously performed; performed with superb expression and involvement. […] This is splendid and important music, though, played in a winning and appealing way. Whatever your (previous) experience of Cage and his world and approach to music, its performance and reception, this is a CD to look closely at. It’s unlikely that you won’t be inspired by much of what it contains.
