Aki Takahashi Plays Morton Feldman
* This 94-minute, single movement work for solo piano is available in two formats: as a specially priced 2-CD set ($19.99) and complete and uninterrupted on one single audio-only DVD ($19.99) * The DVD is presented in uncompressed, high-resolution 96khz/24-bit stereo, playable on any DVD player. * Both the CD and DVD versions have numerous arbitrary track markers to ease navigation through this continuous, one-movement piece. * Recorded from the pianist's perspective, it gives the listener the unique opportunity to hear all of the small nuances and overtones which can be lost in the concert hall. * There is no indication of tempo. For this recording, Ms. Nonken chose a steady eighth-note pulse throughout that approximates the heart rate at rest. Unfolding in time at this rate, the work's geography - its rapturous peaks and long, low valleys - is brought into relief. * Of Ms. Nonken's October 2003 performance of Triadic Memories, John Rockwell wrote in The New York Times: " Ms. Nonken played it with a relaxed, almost rubber-wristed calm, caressing the keys without losing rhythmic definition. A lovely performance of a lovely piece".
