      Morton Feldman - 3 Clarinets, Cello & Piano

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

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

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

                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.

                    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.
                      I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

                        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.

                            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.
