Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
And you thought De Stijl was just an art magazine? Louis Andriessen treats it as such, and more, in this animated journey around the ideas and Paris years of Piet Mondriaan. No need to undertake a crash course in art aesthetics: the music does it for you implicitly: the proportions are derived from a Mondriaan canvas, while the boogie-woogie bass underlines the artist's love of dance and the influence of jazz on his later paintings. There's a whole lot of structured repetition over the 26 minutes, and a crucial rhythmic twist near the end that caps the listening pleasure. Buy the disc as listed and you get the music from Peter Greenaway's film M is for Man, Music and Mozart--a typically non-conformist tribute for Mozart's fearsomely hyped bicentenary year (1991): enjoyable but rather aimless without the visual component. So maybe take the plunge and investigate the stagework De Materie, of which De Stijl forms Part 3. Its not easy listening, but it powerfully confirms Andriessen as a born theatre composer. --Richard Whitehouse
