| | * Dusted Reviews - Morton Feldman * |
 | | Feldman was one of the true geniuses of new music, and this lovely recording presents one of his finest works in vivid sonic detail with a masterful performance. | | | Feldman’s world of long durations, overlapping tones, and elusive harmonies is one that stills the listener, leading her gently away from the noise, speed, and pressure of daily life into a world of sonic secrets. | | | Morton Feldman's music is hardly easy listening, but you probably already knew that. |

| | Feldman's music may sound best apart, but it muses on history in ways that listeners have just begun to perceive. | | | The music of Morton Feldman works best in isolation. | | | In the 50's and sporadically thereafter, Feldman used notation that gave increased freedom to performers. |

| | Morton Feldman - Edition 9 - Composing by Numbers |
| | This period of time marks the beginning of Feldman's "graph music", so named because it was written on graph paper, but also because it is part of a larger movement in 20th century music during which music notation departed from the traditional staff notation and began to incorporate a great deal of graphic symbols. | | | They appear in the order of composition enabling a listener to listen to the development of Feldman's compositional thinking. | | | Soon thereafter, Feldman showed a string quartet he had been writing to Cage. |

| | Morton Feldman - Feldman Edition 6: String Quartet No. 2 |
| | Feldman, like his friend John Cage, had little use for recording, which is the only way most of us will ever make this wildly improbable music's acquaintance. | | | Feldman might have commented negatively that Schoenberg was a historical axis for most to move backwards and forwards, but just as he references him in his programme notes to String Quartet II, it too suggests itself as a piece from which to circumnavigate the middle to late music. | | | Feldman intentionally pushes performers and listeners to the limit. |

| | Morton Feldman: Patterns in a Chromatic Field: Pitchfork Review |
| | Feldman's music has been called, by respectable critics, "boring." The most pared-down exercises in his theories can indeed take a large effort of will to enjoy, casting their atonal meditative glow at the expense of the modern attention span. | | | Heavily influenced by John Cage's musical theories and personal encouragement, Feldman outpaced his mentor in successfully counteracting the theoretical rigidity popular among many 20th century composers. | | | Patterns is relatively rhythmic and almost fully notated, yet still imparts what Feldman called his compositional "subservience" to pure sound. |

| | * Dusted Reviews - Morton Feldman * |
| | Obviously, Feldman’s sensitivity to the difference between quadruple and quintuple pianissimos (triple pianissimo often being as quiet as most composers get) isn’t felt by each performer, but either due to Ginsburgh’s piano playing or the recording, the dynamics seem to be at an extremely even-keel throughout the entire release. | | | Ginsburgh’s performance was recorded in 2001, and therefore lacks the supervision of Feldman himself, unlike Aki Takahashi’s performance on the Mode label. | | | For the non-casual Feldman listener, this release poses even more critical concerns, namely Stephanie Ginsburgh’s performance and its place among an abundance of already-available recordings of the same Feldman pieces. |

| | Very simply, I think it easier to hear and experience this essential aspect of Feldman on this recording than on any other recording of the solo piano music I've yet heard and if you are looking to introduce a friend or family-member to Feldman then this disc should be a serious contender. | | | It is certainly a clever way to support the tactile immediacy of the sound whilst orientating the thoughtful listener towards that old Abstract Expressionist chestnut of the relation between abstraction and physicality. | | | To cut to the quick, however, this is the finest Feldman release I've heard so far this year. |

| | As in his so many of his later works, its the disarming elegance of Feldman's musical thinking that compels respect: encouraging 'deep listening' through the subtle repetition - now literal, now varied - of melodic and rhythmic patterns in a stream of consciousness that never feels arbitrary or indulgent. | | | Yet with the three sound sources as well defined as flutes, glockenspiel and piano, each with its own repertory of musical ideas, there's little chance of flexibility descending into monotony. | | | Cornelius Cardew: Treatise (excerpt) Morton Feldman: Why Patterns Music Projects/London (Richard Bernas) BMIC at The Warehouse. |
