The artist provides a captivating view of the act of playing Mozart
Just a quick note to say what I've been up to ? on Tuesday, I interviewed Douglas Gordon at Gagosian Gallery in London, where he was installing his K364 ? a two-screen installation film work that centres around Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante. As I said in the piece, it puts the viewer as close to the experience of actually playing as I've ever experienced in a film work. Concert-goers and musicians, get thee to Gagosian, for I think it will interest you. I didn't have a chance to see the entire film of 70 minutes; what I did see, however, I found ridiculously moving, and I can't wait to experience the whole thing.
Douglas, now living in Berlin with his partner, a soprano, has become very curious about the world she inhabits as a musician ? though Gordon has long been interested in music: see his work Feature Film, in which he filmed James Conlon conducting Hermann's score for Hitchcock's Vertigo.
