Feldman, not Marty...

Playlist
Roy Harper – Songs of Love and Loss
The Bad Plus – You Are The Bad Plus
Various Composers – String Quartets
Morton Feldman – String Quartet II

A dreich rainy morning...


Made better by Roy Harper and The Bad Plus...

The snow has thawed but this big ball remains...


You may recall my quest to create a history of “good” string quartets...

It is to end with String Quartet II (1983) by Morton Feldman...

I have discovered a stream of said six hour work and spent some of tonight recording the first of the three parts available here...

I am liking this string quartet – despite the lack of action across its vast duration...

On telly, “Miranda” entertained...

Highlight of the day : Feldman...
