Pianist Eliza Garth performs Sonatas and Interludes, John Cage’s 1947 masterpiece for prepared piano, a composition regarded as a formative piano work of the 20th Century. St Mark’s Church in-the-Bowery is known and loved as a gathering place for innovative musicians, dancers, and poets, including Allen Ginsberg and Cage.
“Sonatas and Interludes is absorbingly lovely when played with the commitment and delicacy that pianist Eliza Garth has devoted to her performance…Garth, with a touch that allowed for almost ethereal transparency, played the meditative mind game expertly… there was nary a cough, a dropped program or even an audible rustle anywhere in the audience through the whole hour” – Washington Post
