David Felder Morton Feldman Felder Feldman Two first recordings of Morton Feldman's music in themselves make this CD a notable event. And then, David Felder's music puts it over the line. The music bridges two generations and two distinct personalities. Feldman, with John Cage, Earle Brown, David Tudor, and Christian Wolff, was a seminal member of the New York School in the 1950s, and his work is known for the beauty and delicacy of its orchestral colors, its 'painterly' surface, its static and quiet structure, its contemplative character. Felder's work, on the other hand, is dramatic and powerful, with giant pulsing blocks of orchestral sound lending a strong sense of motion and force which is contrasted with soft poetic moments. The two composers are linked by their association with the June in Buffalo Festival, founded by Feldman in 1975 and directed by Felder since 1985.
