This highly original celebration of the work of Mozart (1756-91) gives rein to the inventiveness of six distinguished contemporary composers, who were each invited to collaborate with a top film-maker of their choice to produce a tribute to the maestro. These partnerships let their imaginations run riot and have produced a collection of programs which range from the hilarious, through the frankly baffling, to the deeply moving.
Eminent Dutch composer Louis Andriessen and Peter Greenaway have produced a conceit on the letter M, set in a grisly sixteenth-century anatomy theatre. It features dancer Ben Craft and jazz singer Astrid Seriese, with jazz/funk music played by the Dutch marching band De Volharding.
