Notes From The Underground: Radical Music Of 20Th Notes From The Underground: Radical Music Of 20Th CD

Four CD set. Unveiled to the public, these works created a scandal that polarized audiences and sparked furious debate, bordering on serious public disorder. Other works, including Allen Ginsberg's epic poem 'Howl', Miles Davis' Third Stream interpretation of Rodrigo's 'Concierto de Aranjuez', and ballet music for 'Parade', composed by Erik Satie, even entered dangerous legal territory. Despite initial opposition, all cleared the prevailing air and proved to be universal in their influence. Some, among them, Karlheinz Stockhausen, John Coltrane, Pierre Boulez, Bill Evans, Ravi Shankar, Pierre Schaeffer, Gustav Mahler, Claude Debussy and Charles Ives, were real crusaders; innovators whose concerted musical explorations enabled them to acquire a deeper understanding of their art that would enable them to attain hitherto unknown creative heights.
