CORRECTION: At around the 43:30 mark, I refer to February 2018 as being "last month" when it was really a year and a month ago, because I suppose I'm in denial about it truly being 2019.
-
you're gonna be a great professor somewhere someday
-
Staying true to Feldman, you really made an almost hour long documentary rather than a 20 minute video as "the world doesnt need another 20 minute contemporary [video]" An absolute blessing
-
50 minutes? Yes, that's the only possible video size on Feldman, like a documentary. I'll even slow down the video to get closer to his music.
-
I love the contrast between his painfully delicate music and his wise guy, high-fiving personality.
-
Samuel Adler once told me Feldman was one of the most profane people he knew and was capable of swearing a blue streak if in the right mood. I found that observation refreshing.
-
Great programme about Feldman. His music and art are one of the most original ones I've encountered with.
-
This is a great honor for me to have my name flashed onscreen during a Classical Nerd video!
-
Just found your channel, and this is great! Looking forward to watching more, thank you!
-

-

-
Thomas this is awesome!!
-
Awesome as always !!
-
This is absolutely fantastic, thanks.
-
when i was little, my mother bought my coats from the feldman family factory outlet in woodside, n.y. though he was always kind, his appearance would frighten me.
-
Fantastic work. Thank you
-
Wow, this was brilliant! Many thanks!
-
AWESOME CONTENT, LOVE LOVE LOVE. John Tilbury was my piano teacher at Goldsmiths College in London!!! I play all this contemporary music too....The first time I heard Feldman's music was when John Tilbury asked me to his concert at the BBC Studios in Maida Vale, after that I started playing Feldman's piano music, we also played the indeterminate Feldman compositions and I play Palais de Mari and also Triadic Memories which I've played in concerts. Actually Feldman and John hung out together and John would tell me lots of stories of their little escapdes in Europe together.
-
Good intro. Made my day!
-
Really great video about my personal hero Morton Feldman!
