I've got that one -- don't recall it that well though. I also have more Laderman (there's lots on CD) and further Trimble (not much more on CD) IIRC. I remember thinking that "Lester Trimble" was the perfect name for a somewhat conservative but  also individual American classical composer of his vintage.

It's a good record, not a great one, but oh well about that. I keep it on my iPod for revisiting every year or two, never fails to please on those terms.

I've been kicking myself in the ass...On Aug. 10 there was a live performance of Feldman's For Philip Guston (the 4 hour piece) at an art gallery about an hour away. I didn't find out about it until Aug. 17. My fault, as I apparently passed by a promotional sign several times but failed to notice!

This (Cage's One^5 + Feldman's Triadic Memories) is outstanding but long oop and likely difficult to find.

Top notch for sure; I bought mine direct from Goldstein; he may still have a few copies. You can contact him at the university where he teaches, U. of North Carolina IIRC. He also did a great recording of Cage's Sonatas and Interludes for Prepared Piano. Very nice man.

Goldstein's also recorded (2010) Feldman's For Bunita Marcus. I already owned another recording (H. Kleeb) at time of release and was not inclined to double up, so haven't heard it. But the recording was praised by (IMO) a reliable source.

This interesting 3-CD set has a lot of "early" (say, 1947-63) Feldman. Listening to disc 2: Durations 1-5 plus Vertical Thoughts 1-5.

I've got Goldstein's "Bunita Marcus" too. I agree with the reviewer.
