Ended Thursday and welcomed Friday with Leonard Bernstein Conducts Music of Our Time featuring music composed by György Ligeti, Morton Feldman and Larry Austin performed by the New York Philharmonic, Leonard Bernstein, Don Ellis, Barre Phillips and Joe Cocuzzo, released on Columbia Masterworks in 1965.
MadHerb wrote on Rate Your Music:
"..This release includes a piece by Larry Austin (who I'd never heard of) with Don Ellis on trumpet and the supremely talented Barre Phillips on bass. Released in 1965 so this may be Phillips' first appearance on vinyl and he acquits himself well. The cover has one of those wiggly line, headache inducing, optical illusion things. Pretty funky release."

„Leinwände der Zeit“ nannte Morton Feldman seine Kompositionen. Jenseits von Expressivität und Rhetorik fasste er Klänge als ureigene Wesen auf. Inspirieren ließ sich Feldman von der Bildenden Kunst, zumal von Malern des Abstrakten Expressionismus. Am 12.01.2026 wäre er 100 Jahre alt geworden.
I’ve been listening to this sublime new Morton Feldman Trios box set on Another Timbre over the last couple of days. Born 100 years ago this month, Feldman composed music that, when performed, seems to exist halfway between the ephemeral and the infinite. The notes slip in and out of existence in the air around us, and everything ends in mystery.
These performances by Taylor MacLennan and GSBR Duo are an absolute joy to hear. I think if I could listen to the music of only one composer for the rest of my life, it would be Feldman’s.
