Album Notes & Community Reviews

The set reissues CRI's 'American Masters' portrait of Brown, drawing on recordings reaching back to a 1974 CRI LP. David Tudor realizes 'December 1952', the famous score of floating rectangles, alongside 'Times Five', 'Novara' and 'Music for Violin, Cello and Piano', with Brown's own notes calling it an authentic representation of his work of the period.
