1969
The 1969 edition of The Thirteenth High Fidelity Annual Records in Review (Wyeth Press: p. 506) features a review of a significant Max Neuhaus album that cemented his reputation as an interpreter of avant-garde percussion music.
Title: Electronics & Percussion: Five Realizations by Max Neuhaus
Label: Columbia Masterworks (MS 7139, released circa 1968)
The album features Neuhaus's interpretations of complex compositions by major figures of the mid-20th-century avant-garde, including works by Karlheinz Stockhausen (Zyklus), Earle Brown, and Morton Feldman.
The review notes Neuhaus's unparalleled virtuosity and technical mastery in performing pieces that relied heavily on graphic notation and chance procedures (aleatory music).
