Music reviews of Feldman: String Quartet (1979)Music Review: Feldman on the cusp of his late period
Feldman felt he had created a masterpiece with his first string quartet, which gained the nickname "100 minutes" based on its first performance in NYC, May 4th, 1980, because it lasted well over 90 minutes. This recording from 1993 by the Group for Contemporary Music (originally released on Koch in 1994), isn't quite that long -- it's only 78'35 long! In February, 1981 the String Quartet was performed at the CalArts Contemporary Music Festival, and Feldman later said that the audience was so full of tension that it was "like a lynch mob." Throughout the 1970s Feldman had written many works for orchestra, including his outstanding "still life" concerto works (ie, "Cello and Orchestra," "Piano and Orchestra," "Violin and Orchestra, etc). These works grew longer toward the end, but it was the String Quartet that launched Feldman into his late period preoccupation with very long chamber works. (Thanks to Douglas Cohen for the very informative liner notes!)
