This nearly two-hour piece for piano, violin and cello (played by Aki Takahashi, Marc Sabat, and Rohan de Saram respectively) features many, many small figures, sometimes as little as a single note struck and then allowed to decay at length, or a gentle exchange between two of the three instruments, rolled out in a seemingly endless parade of intimate sonic moments. It’s so patient in its unfolding, so gentle in its presentation, and so beautifully recorded that sometimes a particularly deep inhalation from one of the players will register as loudly as some of the notes they’re playing. The magic of Feldman’s music is that its slowness and duration make it impossible to hold it in your memory; it drifts by as a series of brief exeriences that are beautiful as they occur but soon replaced in the mind by other, newer experiences, just like life itself.
