of Jonny Greenwood's soundtrack 'playing' the classics of Ligeti, Bartok and Messiaen was made
as a metaphor for the the whole of the film being gesture and mimicry and little more. Curiously,
here's a chance to hear the 'real thing' in person - in the form of the piano works of Olivier Messiaen:
Like the Morton Feldman Marathon at SAM of last month, having significant 20th Century
Composers performed in this town is a rather rare and noteworthy event. Glad to see the
Seattle Art Museum playing host on an increasing basis.
