5.0 out of 5 stars
First-rate Feldman, but then all of his work is..., April 23, 2008
This review is from: Morton Feldman: The Viola In My Life (Audio CD)
This is a fine CD reissue of an early LP that helped put Feldman on the map, and the original album is amply augmented with a recording of the 30-minute "Why Patterns?", featuring Feldman himself at the piano (along with flute and glockenspiel/vibes.) The other two works ("The Viola In My Life" and "False Relationships And The Extended Ending") are two of his better-known middle-period compositions. Both are for typically unusual chamber-music combinations.
Stockhausen once asked Feldman "What's your secret?" Feldman replied "Karl, I don't have a secret." Actually he did; he simply wrote down the notes he wanted to hear, and the results were always beautiful.
