CRITIC’S CHOICE

Christopher Dingle Having had it on my listening pile for two years, I have finally had the pleasure of exploring Philip Thomas’s five-disc survey of Morton Feldman’s exquisitely quirky piano works. It is a real treasure trove of delights, ranging from brief miniatures to the 90 minutes of sustained restraint of Triadic Memories. Each moment is a meticulously crafted pearl, elegantly conveyed by Thomas in a masterclass of pianistic control, intelligence and integrity.
