Notes
This new release on Sub Rosa is the third in a series of three concentrating on avant-garde piano compositions (prev. Volumes: Triadic Memoris, Piano Pieces for More Than 2 Hands). American composer Morton Feldman, born 1926, is now recognized as an one of the most important composers of the 20/21st century. After he met John Cage in the late forties he developed a method of intuitive composing which allowed Feldman to work on the outside of the strict classical system. On this recording pianist Stephane Ginsburgh plays three piano compositions which capture the essence of Morton Feldman's artistry, pure moments of sound and infinity. Or as Ginsburgh quoted: 'Ask the music first and use your concentration.'"
