Big Feldman fan here already. And...

"In 2000, Eberhard Blum, Nils Vigeland, and Jan Williams came together once more as “The Feldman Soloists” to perform Crippled Symmetry, the trio Feldman composed for them, on the 25th anniversary celebration of the festival he founded. The recording of this concert is now finally available on CD, and is destined to become the reference release of this work."

What about Ingram Marshall? Anyone got any recommendations for a jumping-in point?

I don't really think of Tony Conrad as "classical" tbh
