Very good performance, one of my favourite pieces by Feldman, it's etremely difficult to sing as all of his music is. I sang it almost 30 years ago, many great memories. It's in many ways so Webernian and still ... just perfect beauty. Goosebumps, thx for this.

What a astonishing sound world of feldman!

I am in tears...

Incredible performance.  The world needs more Feldman....  Kudos to this amazing ensemble.

"In Feldman's serene and contemplative ritual, 'Rothko Chapel' (1971), a sense of the surroundings that led to its commission is fundamental to the listening experience. Intended as an environmental soundscape for the fourteen huge canvases of the Rothko Chapel in Houston, Texas, the work's blend of declamation, lyricism, and delicate color (soprano, chorus, viola, tympani, chimes, and vibraphones) releases a quiet grandeur that gives rise to a new connotation to the word Minimalism. The attendant simplicity, solemnity, and stasis were not newly found, however, but had been refined over a career." Soundings, Music in the Twentieth Century,  Glenn Watkins, Schirmer, 1995, P. 669.

I've sat in the chapel several  times. I wish I could hear this there. Mesmerizing.

Probably the best interpretation of this masterpiece to be found on Youtube. The solo soprano passage is particularly well sung.

The best live performance I've heard of this piece. Bravo

Unbelievable delicate and inaugural. What a power!

Sehr präzise Interpretation, fein austarierter Chorklang, und all dies in einem Raum, dessen Akustik der Informations“dichte“ ;-)) dieser Musik entgegenkommt. Bravo!

This is an absolutely astonishing performance. Thank you, SWR!

Wonderful! Thank you for sharing🙏

A very moving performance. You really got the spiritual essence of the music.

Absolutely wonderful. The climax to movement 5 at 21:40 is magical. Reminds me a little of the slow, strange, almost punk burn of Messiaen's Jardin du sommeil d'amour.

This emphatic performance by the SWR Vokalensemble, under Marcus Creed, of  Morton Feldman's composition reflects the intense minimalism of Mark Rothko's painting and Philip Johnson's architecture.

"Wunderbar♫"

Konnte aus Zeitgründen ausschnittweise hören.

Diese Musik übt eine tiefe Faszination in mir aus.

Sie ist sphärisch, wie eine andere Welt berührend, von großer Klarheit und Reinheit.

Großartig.

Sehr schön vorgetragen, was für ein Klang! Wirklich eine tolle Aufführung dieser Komposition

meravigliosa interpretazione: bravissimi. 👏👏👏
