The world premiere of Morton Feldman's 1979 String Quartet was in May 1980 in New York City. It lasted well over one and a half hours. A month later, the same group - Benjamin Hudson's Columbia Quartet - performed it at Feldman's June in Buffalo Festival at the University at Buffalo. When he talked about it later at a lecture at Cal Arts, writes Douglas Cohen in these disc notes, its composition, he said, was like "I'm watching some bugs on a slide and I'm just watching how I feel. . . . So the string quartet has a lot to do with that kind of watching and letting it go. And the reason the piece is so long is that I got into dangerous territory. I let things go. . ." This recording by former UB Creative Associate Hudson's group first appeared in 1994 on the Koch label, but it's appearance now in budget-priced Naxos is a godsend to venturesome ears and spirits. • Jeff Simon, The Buffalo News, February 2006
