Music reviews of Feldman: Crippled Symmetry
Music Review: One of Feldman's late masterpieces...a must-have!
Rating: 5 Stars
In the last decade of his life, Morton Feldman began composing longer and longer works. His increased fame by that time gave him the opportunity to explore extended compositions without there being much resistence from players or listeners alike (although his good friend John Cage once asked "Why does it have to be so long?") This composition, as with all of his late masterpieces, explores it's own sound world with continual interest and beauty, and leads one to think that the composition could have been much longer...so profound are the ramifications of the sounds Feldman projects into time. The instrumental trio combination of flute (with the performer doubling on the rare, haunting and beautiful bass flute), glockenspiel/vibraphone and piano/celesta, has a sublime purity that Feldman found endlessly interesting. One imagines this composition to be a kind of multicolored jewel examined from all possible angles, with no end to the subtle and arresting forms found there. The performance and recording of this masterwork are top-notch, bringing out the wonder and beauty of Feldman's conception. Bridge Records is also to be commended for offering this work on a 2-disc set for the price of one disc. It's a rare record company today that is willing to lose some of their profit margin (and let's face it, the "profit" on a contemporary classical CD is pretty slim at best) in order to bring more listeners to the music. (No doubt if they'd priced this release as a 2-disc set it would have found far fewer listeners willing to part with the money because the work runs 10 minutes over the playing length of a compact disc).
