This debut disc presents four works by Suckling (b.1981). That title is from a remark by Morton Feldman about music’s elusive nature, but Suckling’s 18-minute enactment of it, while ritualistic in part, is distant from Feldman in style. The ardent richness of his idiom is well attested by his five-movement piano concerto, and the way glittering modernism dramatically collides with solemnly imposing traditional rhetoric.
