Feldman's Crippled Symmetry is one of his more overtly beautiful pieces and a fine introduction for the hesitant listener. Scored for a trio of flute/bass flute, vibraphone/glockenspiel, and piano/celeste, the instrumental colors are immediately attractive, as are the short melodic figures that are performed. Beneath the surface attractiveness, however, lies a wealth of ideas about sound, patterns, and relationships between notes that repay intense study. Feldman's ability to overlay asymmetric patterns resulting in surprising (but always perfect) juxtapositions of tones and rhythms is astonishing and unique. He famously drew inspiration from Turkish carpets and one can easily analogize a close perusal of those weavings to music such as this. The members of the California EAR Unit do a fine job in this performance, though it arguably lacks the utter power and conviction of the earlier recording on Hat Art with Eberhard Blum, which, however, may be more difficult to come by. Listeners waiting to dip their toes into Feldman's sometimes daunting music could do worse than to start with this two-disc set. ~ Brian Olewnick
Morton Feldman (1926-1987) was and remains one of the giants of the "John Cage generation" of contemporary composers (if fact, he and Cage were friends). Feldman broke free of the serial school (Babbit, Boulez, etc.) and its adherents, and found more of an influence in the detail modern painters (such as Philip Guston, for whom he wrote and named a four-hour piece). It's this sense of detail that marks Feldman's later music: how long a flutist could breathe, how long before a note from a piano decays into nothingness.
In some respects, CRIPPLED SYMMETRY is "minimalist" in that the melodic fragments are brief and repeeated, yet it sounds nothing like Philip Glass or Steve Reich. Feldman's approach recalls the spare, spacious sound of Anton Webern and the piano music of Erik Satie, with the subtle repetition forming symmetry an almost imperceptible asymmetry. This 87-minute piece, for a trio of flute, piano and percussion, is gentle though not lulling or ambient (though it may certainly achieve that effect)--there is an elemental sense of tension to it. It's as if Feldman were trying to capture the sight AND sound of a snowflake melting ...
