The immediate cause for this CD is the direction Cage gave in his score of the String Quartet in Four Parts: “Play without vibrato and with only minimum weight on the bow”. Through this vibratoless tone and these ethereal sounds, Cage in fact aims for a musical idiom intended for gut strings: through their more subtle and transparent sound combined with a clear attack they certainly contribute to achieving his sound ideal.  It inspired Frank Agsteribbe to arrange this work, which was originally written for a modern string quartet, for Baroque string orchestra. It is only to be expected that a Baroque orchestra like B’Rock would take up this project: right from the start it was B’Rock’s aim to present not only Baroque music, but also 20th-century and even new repertory.  Besides, the artistic leaders on this CD, soloist Rodolfo Richter and Frank Agsteribbe, a harpsichord player-conductor, have both studied composition and perform early as well as new music. This results in a different, refreshing approach to early music, one that is full of imagination.
