TO CELEBRATE
ELENI KARAINDROU
THE FAMOUS GREEK COMPOSER.
THEO AGELOPOULOS-
ELENI KARAINDROU
AN UNBEATABLE DUO
GREEK ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK
(O.S.T.)
Weeping Meadow
Karaindrou is not at all
a lucky composer. She has an extremely demanding task: to compose for
Angelopoulos's films. She has to reach an equally aesthetic point. In order to
perceive the amount of effort, it is quite necessary to understand that behind
Angelopoulos films is the touchy subject of modern Greek history. The after
WWII Greek society in continuous political and economical turmoil. In order to
convey his message, Angelopoulos uses something more than conventional cinema,
something more than the image: He uses poetry in its photographic version. It
takes more than mere moving pictures. It takes a kind of slow motion close to
the stillness of photography to make a poetical narration of history
Karaindrou has to make it with sound, an inherently weaker means of expression
compared to the visual one. And finally she performs. You can see Angelopoulos
through her music. You can feel the images. Or forget everything about the
motion picture that gave birth to this gem and enjoy the musical experience as
you can do with Mahler without ever watching "Death in Venice"
watched Angelopoulos'
film about 6 months ago and I have to say that his film is the one that have
made the greatest impression with me ever; but even so, the film wouldn't have
had the same impact if it weren't for the music composed by Eleni Karaindrou. I
bought this soundtrack a few months ago and when playing it at home it gave me
the exact same feelings that I had when watching the movie. The music is
achingly beautiful; melancholic as well as dramatic. It's as if this music is
coming from a different era; yet it's not old-fashioned. It has the sound of
East European traditional music; still it's easily recognisable as Greek music
even if there's not a bouzouki in sight. Eleni Karaindrou has her own distinct
"sound". It's the music of a genius; the film of Angelopoulos demands
no less and she really lives up to the task. If you've seen the film then this
soundtrack is a must; if you haven't I still think you will enjoy the music as
it is absolutely beautiful. I just love this music, but as with all the
ingenious music, it requiers your full attention at all times; otherwise it's a
waste of the composers' ingeniousness. It's really difficult describing this
music, so my best advice is to buy this and listen and judge for yourselves. I can't
imagine that you will be disappointed.
