The .field =pages attribute means that the value of the pages field in the
content table is used. This is the field that is usually called
startingpoint when you insert a plugin on a page as a content object.

Try this:

myvars.calendar_bare.1 {
  pid_list >
  pid_list =1,4
}

The fírst line make sure that there is no .field .data or other parameteres.
If you do not write this, then the the function stdWrap (very good
documentation is found in TSref) will override the value  1,4  with the
value from the pages field which is empty (since it is not inserted a a
content object, but directly with typoscript).

As mentioned look in TSref documentation on typo3.org, especialle the
stdWrap function.
