Recording Reviews

Volume 25 • Number 2

Summer 2007



 

 

Morton Feldman. For Philip Guston. California ear unit. Dorothy Stone, flutes. Gloria Cheng-Cochran, piano and celeste. Arthur Jarvinen, percussion. Includes a recording of a preconcert discussion of the composition by the composer. 1997. Bridge 9078 A/D.

There are rare instances when one hears music of such great originality that it alters the way one hears all music from that moment. Morton Feldman exemplifies a composer who was in touch with his own unique compositional ear and voice to such an extent that it had that effect on an entire generation of young composers who began their musical development in the second half of twentieth-century America.
