Free Music Review: Greece, Music, Cinema, Reflection and History
Hit: 5 Stars
Naturally, when you review a CD you have to say something about the music. Usually yes. But this CD takes me further. Makes me reflect about 20th century. I treat it more like a valuable, well-written book. And I come to the conclusion that 20th century has been a very unmusical century.
Though every aphorism has a certain totalitarian sense - not to mention enough quantity of nonsense - in terms of comparative analysis, the statement holds a lot of truth. The 20th century much adored imrovisation was many times taken to the extreme limit of producing sound for the sound. 20th century coupled music with commerce. In a tight, suffocating bond. 20th century exploited music in various ways: to promote political ideas, to sell goods, to kill time.
But 20th century also produced works like the one in question. Works that stand above a mere music event. A kind of soundtrack to a (not so ) fictional film named "Greece 1945-1974". A kind of painful soundtrack which produces a feeling of separation, of insecurity, like the one you get by looking to the picture on the cover of the CD.
As for the music it is more than enough to pick the Adagio. Close your eyes when you listen to this short part and honestly ask and answer to yourself: Is this a 20th century Greek composer or a highly esteemed master from a distant past? How come that a few minutes composition contains so much poetic energy? How can music become so narrative? Talent you may say. Talent for sure. Incomparable one.
But modern Greece either devours or disregards her children, at least the talented ones. Karaindrou is and will remain marginally known to the public.
In a way, it is better to stay as it is...
