Mirando il punto a cui tutti li tempi son presenti

"The above line from Dante’s Divine Comedy can serve as a motto for the meaning of the whole work. The task was to compose a work which evokes the sound of a continuous present, an awareness of time standing still."

Morton Feldman

Untitled composition
for cello and piano 1981

René Berman, cello
Kees Wieringa, piano

It is useless to debate the question... Is the music of
Morton Feldman good or bad...
John Cage stated in his book Silence: Feldman’s music IS...

One can be surprised by the feeling that this music escapes a judgement of value. Only those who dare to really listen with an open mind (both a challenge and an invitation) get a chance to understand Feldman’s music, a chance to enter a new world of sound.

Recorded by NOS-Radio
BIM-Huis, 29.09.1991

"When Huub van Riel asked me to make a program of my compositions for the Amsterdam BIM House, I suggested forming an ensemble... would not only play my existing compositions, but it would improvise as well. The Amsterdam Drama came into existence."
