专辑简介
Every aspect of this 3-CD collection, from its breadth to its precise sound to its expansive booklet to its bargain price, is top-notch. Morton Feldman's compositions, from the starkest to the most intense, have deserved a collection of this nature for decades. To hear the string of five-part pieces (Projection, Durations, and Vertical Thoughts) laid end to end is amazingly instructive. Feldman excels from his earliest at the study of pitch relationships and intricate, luminescent structures. And the Barton Workshop shows this off with a blush of restraint as they pull together Feldman's odd mix of sonorities (flute, trumpet, violin, cello, and piano on Projection 2; violin, tuba, and piano on Durations 3; flute, oboe, trombone, celeste, and percussion on Instruments I) without breaching the seamwork Feldman so carefully wove around his studies. As this set progresses, the study advances from one focused on pitches and timbres to one focused on sonic dynamics beyond categorization. An early John Cage acolyte, Feldman is painted by these pieces more definitively than ever as a more concise, unflinching thinker. The music floats, surely and unwaveringly, but it punctures the air with atonalities that seem drawn from an entirely different musical language. --Andrew Bartlett
