"Morton Feldman: Three Voices" is a captivating exploration of minimalism, avant-garde, and drone genres, presented by the renowned composer Morton Feldman. Released on May 24, 2017, under the label hat[now]ART, this album is a unique interpretation of Feldman's 1982 composition, originally written as a homage to his friends Philip Guston and Frank O'Hara and dedicated to Joan La Barbara.
The album features the extraordinary Juliet Fraser, who delivers a mesmerizing performance as the soprano soloist. Accompanied by two pre-recorded versions of herself, Fraser creates haunting three-part textures that are both intricate and deeply moving. The intentionally low volume, particularly at the start, draws the listener into an intimate and immersive soundscape.
Comprising eight tracks, "Three Voices" spans a total duration of 52 minutes, recorded between October 24-31, 2015, in the Performance Space at City University London. The album's minimalist approach and avant-garde elements showcase Feldman's distinctive compositional style, making it a compelling addition to any music collection. Whether you're a longtime fan of Feldman's work or new to his compositions, "Three Voices" offers a profound and unforgettable listening experience.
