Description
Flotation Device celebrates the 100th birthday of Morton Feldman with a retrospective of his famously slow, quiet and gripping music. Our sampling draws on his shortest and longest, earliest and latest, and most and least popular works, emphasizing the role of Cage, Webern and the New York School of abstract painters in formulating his musical vision. We’re helped by Joan La Barbara, Max Neuhaus, Michael Tilson Thomas and other illustrious Feldman interpreters, and we also explore his music's ongoing influence through selections by Salvatore Sciarrino, Louis Andriessen, Beat Furrer, Tyshawn Sorey, Cergio Prudencio, Gabriel Vicéns, Bryn Harrison and Kris Davis. It's the perfect two-hour centenary fix for Feldman fans, with host Michael Schell.
