Again, a repost from basa’s heritage
Maria de Alvear is a Spanish-German composer of radically simple music. She was born in the same year that I was. As she says of her own scores: 'They look so helpless you could almost think a five-year-old had written them, someone who can't write music. But, of course, I did know how to write music. I just made a clean sweep.'
She is a student of Mauricio Kagel and an admirer of Joseph Beuys. 'En Amor Duro' is one half of a diptych for solo piano (the other half is 'De Puro Amor'.)
I stumbled upon this out-of-print HatHut CD without previous knowledge of Ms. de Alvear or her works. This 50-minute piece will probably be a challenge – it was for me. It is not minimal, serial, post-serial, romantic or aleatoric. In fact, I don't even know if it is music. It certainly challenges my idea of what music might or ought to be and that is a rare experience in 2010. An apparently artless acre of dirt-cloddish notes is alchemized into a force field of fearsome implication. I approached 'En Amor Duro' in a very skeptical frame of mind and left it feeling changed. Just a little bit. (Which is a lot.) Just don't put it on as background music. That might be dangerous.
HatHut's house pianist Hildegard Kleeb is excellent as always and the recorded sound is great.
