Morton Feldman (1926-87), one of the hallowed pioneers of 20th-century music, invented his own intuitive, subtle mode of composition, as close as music gets to abstract expressionism. In these two meditative works,'For John Cage' and 'Piano and String Quartet,' violin bows are loosened for delicacy, vibrato banished for maximum purity of sound. Because of the 90-minute duration of each piece (too long for a CD), this live recording from 2006 Huddersfield Festival has to be played on a computer with a DVD drive. Don't be deterred. Listen, reflect, marvel.
