FLUX Quartet - Feldman Edition 6: String Quartet No. 2

Truly magnificent. Easily one of the most beautiful records I have ever heard. One six hour long song spread out over five 70+ minute long discs, recorded in a marathon performance done in one sitting. What you get is one of the most pleasant audio recordings to have ever been made. The FLUX Quartet did an exceptional job at realizing Morton Feldman's piece that has only ever been performed in its entirety a handful of times, and it's amazing that I managed to experience it.

I'm holding off on giving it a higher rating just yet as I feel like this is one album that I'm gonna need to make the time to listen to it in its entirety in a single sitting to fully experience it the way it was supposed to. But hell, maybe after a few more times of listening to the discs on their own will convince me to heighten the score anyway. Regardless, this is one hell of a masterpiece, masterfully and intricately written by Morton Feldman and flawlessly performed by the FLUX Quartet, and definitely an album that I'd highly encourage anyone to make their way through, even if it is just a disc a day like I had done.
