Note
Title provided by cataloger based on handwritten note on original DAT cassette, audition, and information provided by the Merce Cunningham Trust. Date provided by cataloger based on the DAT recording timecode; some recordings are likely to have been recorded after the initial recording date as the works captured were created several years later.
Handwritten note on original DAT cassette: "Quartet - CD poss. Rec. by R. Miller". Sticker affixed to original DAT cassette: "Original Master".
Contains the music for Merce Cunningham's August pace (1989), Neighbors (1991), Breakers (1994), Quartet (1982), and excerpts of the music for Cunningham's Five stone wind (1988).
Sound quality is mostly good; there is audience applause at the ends of the works and the volume is slightly low overall.
