Morton Feldman: For Christian Wolff
BRIDGE 9279A/C


$ 44.99

For Christian Wolff is one of Morton Feldman's final compositions, and stands alongside the four-hours-plus For Philip Guston, the 70-minute For John Cage, and the six-hour String Quartet II. Writing about hearing this work, Christian Wolff says that "I found the experience of listening to it beautiful and interesting - it moves away partly from our (Morty's, John Cage's and mine) original preoccupation with just sound and sonority into areas of self-awareness about listening, being a listener, as such, because there's so much time to be thinking of this and that as well as just listening." The California EAR Unit's performances of Feldman's For Philip Guston (BRIDGE 9078A/D) and Crippled Symmetry (BRIDGE 9092A/B) have received high praise from the international musical press.

 

Reviews:

“Their interpretation expresses the charm of moderation and restraint, and does Feldman proud. Take your time, and enjoy the view along the way.” - Fanfare

“This piece is more for the seasoned Feldman listener, never the less it is a nicely presented release and the listening effort really does pay off.” - Musique Machine
