4.0 out of 5 stars Radio play, best for Beckett enthusiasts, July 9, 1999

By A Customer

This is a very well-done recording of a "late Beckett" radio play, and is well worth hearing for Beckett fans. "Music" is only one of several parts, so there isn't a lot of it, and total timing is less than 42 minutes. Thus, Feldman aficionados interested in the Feldman-Beckett collaboration might be better served by the quasi-opera "Neither", on Hat Art Records.

5.0 out of 5 stars Words that are music, May 14, 2001

By A Customer

This is a superb recording of a unique work. A most interesting aspect is the contrast between the short, very intensive musical fragments and the very long pieces that Feldman was composing at that time. Moreover, Beckett's words are at least as musical as any of Cage's text pieces.
