Morton Feldman's violin concerto, music from Africa, Vietnam and more
Starting today with one of Mali's most beautiful voices, then moving on to Aziz Sahmaoui of Orchestre National des Barbès fame in his most recent project the University of Gnawa with mostly Senegalese musicians which leads us to a Wolof and a Mandinka musicians from Senegal before an unexpected detour to Vietnam.
The 2nd hour is dedicated to the slowly unfolding Violin and Orchestra, a piece by American Mortan Feldman from 1979 in a new recording on ECM. Typically of Feldman's music, the tempo is fairly slow and static, but there is an awful lot that happens with the violin and orchestra, slight variations in many small gestures, but fascinating and music which can just envelop the listener.
