Morton Feldman - 3 Clarinets, Cello & Piano

I love this piece, one of my favourite MF compositions. The rest of the CD is amazing!

Erich Korngold - Six Simple Songs

[Pulcinella]

Beefy: do you like Feldman's Rothko Chapel?
Think that was my introduction to his music, intrigued by the title as much as anything.

Extraordinary
Love it
Music better than title!

You are confusing me - now I don't know what is my fave MF composition - this is amazing!!!

This will lower the tone but I feel strangely compelled to post it:

Anthony Louis Scarmolin

Symphonies 1 to 3

Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra / Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra

Joel Eric Suben

Lovely,probably not masterpieces,so I didn't post this on the American classics thread,because they aren't classics.
Reminiscent of too many composers to list.

Annie Gosfield: Flying Sparks and Heavy Machinery (FLUX String Quartet and Talujon Percussion Quartet).

Very interesting Bryn, many thanks for posting - completely new to me (although her name rings a bell from somewhere).

I found a few things on Apple Music, but not the album you reference.

Currently listening to "The Art Of The Virtual Rhythmicon" has some Gosfield on it (All sideways Glance From An Electric Eye) - definitely my cup of tea

Completely new to me . I'm usually a bit suspicious of music that i like as much as this on first listen.

excellent recommendation, Bryn and Beefy.
quite a bit of her music on youtube to dip into.

Now sampling some Scarmolin pieces, such as the Nocturne (clarinet) and Dances from The Caliph. The trouble with this stuff is that the composer obviously had more talent than (probably) most of us. I would find it very hard to write any music as good as that, yet really it does not scale any great heights - no Moazrt, Haydn, Beethoven, Brahms, Stravinsky, Bartok, Copland, Bernstein etc.

The best is the enemy of the good!

Background music? Maybe the symphonies were better than the pieces I've been able to hear.

Nick Didkovsky (who made the instrument on this album)
has done some really interesting things

I heard a performance of this one a few years ago at a festival in Budapest

Totally new to me too. I only discovered her work as a result of searching out recordings in which the FLUX Quartet were involved. I ordered a couple of CDs of her music on trust, (trust in the musical taste of the members of the FLUX Quartet, that is). I was half expecting something similar to the work of the Bow Gamelan Ensemble. That was not to be the case.

Probably only slightly.

Had a bit of a listen to some of Maurice Ohana's music today.
Quite impressed on first listen.

is an example. ( Although this workis not much loved by the guy who runs the Avant Garde project).

I'll be spinning this again.
