John Perkins on afterPostModern reflects on the music of Morton Feldman and also recommends Rothko Chapel.
Feldman's music is quiet and slow and atonal. He became inextricably associated with one musical direction often written in his scores: "as softly as possible." People will either love his music or hate it, I would guess. I'm in the former camp.
And I am in both camps -- I love Rothko Chapel and say, his sparse works for two pianos but don't care much for Coptic Light and am struggling right now with Patterns in a Chromatic Field (despite the new release on Tzadik with Aleck Karis).
Tim Rutherford-Johnson's take on Rothko Chapel.
