Hit: 4 Stars
I agree w/klangfarben: "De Stijl" is a rollicking good time, yet also somehow haunting and slightly disturbing ... in a good way. =) The placement of the Mondrian monologue at the golden-section point of the piece just plain works -- exactly how defies description. Why is it even there?? Louis is not saying; maybe Piet can tell us... I'll have to remember to stare at some Mondrian and ponder this. Anyway, it's a fabulous, audacious piece, performed with muy cajones!
"M is for Man" on the other hand is schlocky, occasionally funny, but basically shallow & unsatisfying. Maybe it works better with the television graphics, but just on its own music-wise, esp. alongside "De Stijl", it falls flat. Fortunately "De Stijl" takes up the bulk of the disc, thus my 4-stars. What really irritates me about the recording though is: there is *NO* silent space at all between the end of the huge, 25-minute "De Stijl" and the beginning of "M is for Man"! We SOOOOO need time to digest "De Stijl" on its own & let it settle -- and most importantly to hit Stop before that other damn thing starts. :p
