About the album
An hour and fifteen minutes is long for a piano quartet, but it pales in comparison to the nearly five hours of Crippled Symmetry and the six hours of the Second String Quartet. Morton Feldman (1926-1987) is renowned for compositions that are simultaneously the longest, softest, and slowest.
Feldman completed his piano quartet, which is not actually titled as such but rather Piano, Violin, Viola, Cello, on May 28, 1987. He could not have foreseen that this would be his last work.
This album was recorded live at the soundsofmusic festival in Groningen (NL).
