Feldmania
It feels so stupid to write about late Feldman. Those of us who take up the task can’t help but show off how much of a worthwhile effort it was to submit to the large time span. Let’s admit it, the cult of Feldman is a club where membership is gained through persistent endurance.

Concerto Concentrations 3.
City Noir’s three connected panels satisfy Adams’ need to extend and revive his impressions of old movie cues. The gestures are immediately familiar, yet they’re Adams’ own.

String Theory 11: Cellos Mostly
Monteverdi and Scelsi are well paired. Both could infuse a line, vocal or otherwise, with mysticism or elemental passion and create impetuous and visceral statements.

Atopos Survey 1. / Italian Vacation 11. / Piano Factory 12.

Piano Factory 11.
Finnissy’s huge and nigh impenetrable opus suggests that music may comment only upon itself.
