Inciso nei mesi di aprile e luglio 2022, questo album ci restituisce uno spaccato piuttosto significativo di una serie di recenti pagine per pianoforte, per lo più solitario, del compositore giapponese Jo Kondo, oggi settantasettenne, di cui è nota una sia pur fugace frequentazione di John Cage e Morton Feldman, pagine di cui è protagonista la ...

by John Eyles
With a running time of just over two hours, Morton Feldman's 1985 composition “Violin and String Quartet" is one of his longer ones, even though it falls far short of such pieces as 1984's “For Philip Guston" at four hours or 1983's “String Quartet (II)" at over six hours without a break. Their durations have made ...
Apartment House: Morton Feldman Violin and String Quartet
by Marat Ingeldeev
In the late 1970s, American composer Morton Feldman began writing exceptionally lengthy compositions. Not only did these works push the boundaries of traditional concert duration, but more importantly, they explored how the composer could tackle the subject of sheer scale itself. Speaking about this challenge, Feldman said: “Up to one hour you think about form, but ...
