Hypnotic, shimmeringly beautiful and endlessly fascinating, Morton Feldman‘s piano music is conceived on a huge scale yet unfolds almost like a whisper, using the most simple of ideas.
 
Pianist Philip Thomas, a leading interpreter of Feldman’s music, gives this one-off performance to complement rare screenings of short documentary profiles of two of the US’s greatest visual artists, both featuring incidental music by Feldman.
