Intersection III

Over the past 15 years, The Barton Workshop has garnered a reputation for their topnotch interpretation of New York School composers. Naturally they are the obvious choice to disseminate Morton Feldman’s mid-period graphic scores, the subject of this latest release in Mode’s ongoing Feldman Edition. Personally, I love the few loud and fast Feldman gems like Intersection III. Here, pianist Frank Denyer manages a proper freak out on the keys, evoking a Tudor-like gusto. And for the obsessed collector, the disc contains three premiere recordings: Intersection I, Marginal Intersection, and In Search of An Orchestration.
