Morton Feldman's "For Samuel Beckett" is a captivating exploration of minimalism and avant-garde composition, released on January 1, 2006, under the hat[now]ART label. This album is a testament to Feldman's unique approach to music, blending drone elements with his signature repetitive structures, creating a sound that is both meditative and challenging. The album consists of two extended pieces, each dedicated to the renowned playwright Samuel Beckett, reflecting Feldman's deep admiration for Beckett's work. Performed by esteemed ensembles such as the Ensemble Modern and conducted by Arturo Tamayo, the music delves into a non-organic model-repetition strategy, offering a distinctive and immersive listening experience. With a duration of 43 minutes, this album is a profound journey into the intricate and often abrasive sound world that Feldman masterfully crafts.
