Wonderful performance! I can't even imagine how one could maintain ones powers of concentration for almost an hour and a half to play this music, in which nothing really happens, and during which the textures rarely change. It seems like an endurance test, and this is one of the shorter late Feldman pieces! Amazing.
@OnceTheyNamedMeiWasnt You're probably right, but I remember being in wind ensemble back in the late Pleistocene, and music this "uneventful" would have had me nodding off behind my tuba. Don't get me wrong: I like Feldman's music a lot. I'm not sure that I'm ready to say that I "love" it, but I do like it a lot. What impresses me is how he comes up with these wonderful arpeggiated piano chords which are not really dissonant, but are never tonal, and thus never seem to imply any harmonic structure or form. It's like listening to a natural process. I have tried to sit at my own piano and spontaneously come up with similar chords, and I cannot. I have read three books by Morton Feldman, so I know that there was no "system" behind his harmonic language. He seems to have been a completely "naive" composer (in the terminology of Messiaen -- one who composes freely just from his imagination, and doesn't use any structural or formal crutches -- Messiaen did the same when harmonizing his birdsong, which seems even more superhuman to me).
The Aki Takahashi Kronos Quartet version doesn't cut it after listening to this. The slow playing of the piano arpeggios and the super low volume of the strings in this version makes the Kronos version sound raucous and clumsy.
Vielen, vielen herzlichen Dank für diese Aufführung und die Veröffentlichung des Videos! -Übrigens geht es bei --5:02-- Laufzeit mit der Aufführung der Komposition los.-
Now you can run it by "Spectral Layers" by Steinberg (the company that make "Cubase") and remove the bangs around 1h04s. There's other software that does the same.
I saw a performance of the 2 hour violin and string quartet a couple nights ago and very quietly said 'One more song!' during the applause but was too scared to shout it loud enough for everyone to hear...
Me gusta Morton Feldman pero creo que peca de obras demasiado largas. Lo bueno, si breve...por ejemplo Webern. Sería fantástico que acompañase a la actuación una o varias pinturas de Mark Rotko.
I try to keep an open mind about new music and listen to a lot of it, but to paraphrase John Cleese "I don't know much about music, but I know what I like" And I don't like this.
This is the best thing I've ever heard.
I listen to this lying down in the grass after a long run.
TH-cam brought me here after listening to a Meshuggah album. Somehow this is just what I needed!
This my favorite Feldman work, I have listened to for years glad to see it performed.
This music sounds like it was composed for Auschwitz prisoners awaiting their turn at the shower.
My favorite as well. Amazing to see a live performance.
This is one of my favourite Feldman pieces. So glad I found this performance - you've really done it justice. Fabulous!
Simply incredible. Have listened to this for years (as well as many other Morton Feldman pieces) and it's always an experience. Wonderful.
feldman's masterpiece
Beautiful interpretation.
Entzückender geht es wirklich nicht... Die Atmosphäre hier ist einfach unübertrefflich!
So misterious and yet so beautiful🤔
It's not mysterious if it's repetitive and monotonous.
so beautiful tones...!
I really like this work. Thanks!
this music has elements that certainly make you aware of the natural algorithms around you within nature and your spirit
Excelente interpretación gracias!!!!
Fantastic! Thank you!
一次心灵的沐浴。我觉得不再焦虑，不再疲惫了。感谢。❤
astounding performance and beautiful late work of Feldman. Congrats and many thanks! Waiting for more :)

Thanks God! Really beautiful music.
grandioso!
and your more than exquisite performance has kept these concepts alive!
Apenas tocar sem querer ouvir, a mente pára e descansa.

Toll!
bravo!
Thank you.
Exquisite
unreal piece, that bring you deeeep in the ocean.
Would be interesting to play it with an other temperament for the piano.

It would have been hilarious if someone had shouted "Encore!"

Around 1h00 someone started throwing the furniture on the floor, loud banging, I thought, this is not part of the piece. Love the music.
set it off
