We saw 'The Red Tree' in Melbourne last night. The second half really worked for us but the first half didn't. It was a matter of EITHER Shostakovich's wonderful string quartet (arranged brilliantly) OR the fascinating pics. Unfortunately concentrating on one blotted out the other for us.
Perhaps we're not ready for double experiences??
The Red Tree was outstanding and I was blown away by how well the choir the orchestra and images all interacted. It was a huge success and I think would be great to export this piece to overseas audiences.
Initially I was quite apprehensive and distracted seeing the images of The Arrival to the Shostakovich like the reader above.
However I found by the end of the work I was converted. Some of the pictures especially with destructive war imagery were quite evocative juxtaposed against the abject darkness of human spirit that Shostakovitch is so able to invoke. MD
