This is a great relase. If you appreciate Mr Feldman's music you just have to have it. Just don't care about negative reviews. The "historical" recordings of "Jackson Pollock" etc are just great. And the new recordings come in good time too.
Format:Audio CD
This CD of early works by Morton Feldman sounded promising when I first read about it, but after actually hearing the CD I'm left a bit disappointed. Most of the pieces on this CD are just early workings of ideas Feldman expressed much clearer in later, more mature works.
Judging from the fact that they found the tape for "Intersection" in the C.F. Peters basement covered in dust, Feldman never wanted anyone to hear the piece anyway.
However, redeeming is the recordings of the music that was written for Hans Namuth's film about Jackson Pollock. Later the film was decided to be left silent, so it's very nice to hear the music that was originally intended for the film.
Overall, I would say avoid this CD unless you really are a Feldman completist. There's much better music to be heard by this incredible composer.

Continuing the exploration of Feldman's early writing career, this disc contains many hitherto unreleased and unpublished works. Included therein is Morty's only piece for magnetic tape, called "Intersection." This makes a fine companion to Earle Brown's "Octet" (found on the hatArt disc, The New York School 2). The following piece, "Nature Pieces," shows Feldman at times sounding very close to early John Cage (don't believe me? Compare the first and third pieces to Cage's "Metamorphesis" with its walking, meandering figures; the fourth and "Dream" with its soft modal melody and saturation from the pedal). As a special bonus, the audio portion to a film about Jackson Pollock is also included, with music for two 'cellists by Feldman. Pollock speaks in the film as well. All of the performances are great and goes along with the Barton Ensemble disc very well. It will only be a matter of time before every work by Feldman gets attention and recorded.
