Piano – Philip Thomas

The Morton Feldman Piano box set is the most extensive survey of Feldman’ s piano music to date. Released exactly 20 years after John Tilbury’ s long unavailable 4-CD set, the new box includes several pieces which weren’ t included there, and has three works which have never been released on disc before.
Philip Thomas has been playing Feldman’ s music for 25 years and is one of the foremost interpreters of his work with an extraordinary gentle touch. He and John Tilbury combined forces to produce the highly acclaimed Two Pianos double CD, which featured Feldman’ s music for multiple pianos. The Feldman Piano box set is the culmination of decades of study, and is accompanied by a 52-page booklet in which Philip Thomas writes about Feldman’ s music from a pianist’ s point of view:
“Playing Feldman’ s music inevitably changes aspects of one’ s technique. The orientation is towards the vertical aspects of piano playing - the attack - rather than the horizontal - the line. Yet Feldman made much of his desire for instrumental sound devoid of attack, which is hard for the piano, whose action is fundamentally percussive. Yet knowing this affects how one treats the instrument: pressing the keys serves to release the sound, setting strings in motion.”

3.9 GB flac (yes, I mean Free Lossless Audio Codec) for 5 piano CDs (16 bit - 44.1 kbps)
How could it be? When I convert a small 19 sec track of this set (5,090 Kb) into wav by means of foobar2000 the resulting size is 5,074 kb
===============
Updated -- I learned that there is such a silly thing for flac conversion as -NOCOMPRESSION key it gives the result of the same size as wav even bigger a bit ))
