VA - New Piano Works From Europe and The Americas (1993)
Haydée Schvartz, piano
Avant-Garde | EAC (ape + cue) | CD 71:08 | booklet | 234MB | RS
A debut recital of incredibly varied and fascinating music from Argentinean pianist Haydée Schvartz. Her teachers include Roberto Brando, Dora Castro and Nikita Magaloff. Ms. Schvartz continued her studies in London with Maria Curcio and subsequently received a a Fulbright Scholarship to study in Buffalo, New York with Yvar Mikhashoff, where she won the Cameron Baird Competition in 1990.
"Schvartz's disc is no less interesting, including several realizations of the Perpetual Tango Cage wrote for Yvar Mikhashoff's Tango Project, recent miniatures by Berio and Pärt, and a Schumann-inspired set of nocturnes by Gerardo Gandini (Shvartz includes the relevant Schumann work for good measure). More substantial are the Quattro Illustrazioni of Scelsi, Kagel's impressive An Tasten and a strong work by the Argentinean Gabriel Valverde called Ek-Statsis which lives up to its name."

a little "divertissement" and entertainement ;-)
Acrostic written by Cage on the "Perpetual Tango"'s score,
where one can discover two times the name of Erik Satie:
thE devil neveR takes tIme to thinK he juSt tAngos insTead he Is quitE cool
hE his daughteRs wIfe and servants Know they'll never Stop dAncing They never do It's vEry hot
based on the "instructions" written by Satie for the XVIII'th piece "Le Tango"
inside the "Sport et Divertissements" score of 1914:
Le tango est la danse du Diable. C'est celle qu'il préfère. Il la danse pour se refroidir.
Sa femme, ses filles et ses domestiques se refroidissent ainsi.
