Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring a libretto by Samuel Beckett, Morton Feldman鈥檚 sole opera is a harrowing, deeply existential piece of modern classical monodrama. The avant-garde orchestral arrangement relies on dissonant sonorism to build an abstract, incredibly suspenseful, and ominously sombre musical environment.
