Sehr frühes Material (1950-1953, darunter eine Tape-Collage mit JOHN CAGE und vieles zuvor unveröffentlichtes !
“A remarkable discovery of over 75 minutes of Morton Feldman's music. This disc presents 13 unrecorded early works spanning 1950 to 1953, many previously unpublished.
Highlights:
• His only work for magnetic tape, Intersection, realized in 8-channels by Feldman with John Cage and Earle Brown. Considered lost, the work has been restored and presented here for the first time in 40 years.
• His score for 2 cellos to Hans Namuth's film of Jackson Pollock, presented in its entirety including narration by Pollock himself.
• The solo piano collection Nature Pieces, which combine elements of Feldman's youth with his mature style, and the Variations written for a dance by Merce Cunningham.
• Previously missing works from the Extensions and Intermission cycles.
The performances are superbly played by pianist Philipp Vandré and the Turfan Ensemble from Frankfurt.” [label info]
