Atlantis (1959)

Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra
Lucas Vis

Atlantis (1959), for chamber orchestra, uses the graphic notation with which Feldman experimented in the Fifties and Sixties, part of what he called his desire 'to project sounds into time, free from a compositional rhetoric'. In Atlantis, the result is a rivulet of tiny delights, trickles and flurries of notes that unfurl into scampering, stop-start phrases.
