Studio Master: CDA68108  Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available

‘In Osborne, we … have a refreshingly uncompromising tour guide, who refuses us faster, louder, more Technicolor interpretations that might sell Feldman more ‘easily’. By taking Feldman at his word, the myriad tolling bells, slow unfoldings and existential questions emerge richer, multifaceted. Hyperion’s recorded sound is typically warm and velvety, giving unusually plush cushioning for the music of these gruff, unpredictable Americans’ (Limelight, Australia)» More
