Editors's info:
RADHE RADHE: Rites of Holi is a vivid multimedia collaboration by composer-pianist Vijay Iyer and filmmaker Prashant Bhargava, who were inspired by the centennial of the Stravinsky-Nijinsky Rite of Spring to explore another sort of rite of spring: the Hindu festival of Holi, famous for its revelry of color in celebration of the love between the divine Krishna and Radha. In northern India, Bhargava filmed the ravishing images of an eight-day Holi festival held in the city of Mathura (the mythic birthplace of Krishna), later editing the footage with Stravinskys music as a structural-spiritual guide. Iyer who released his ECM debut, Mutations, earlier this year then composed his score as the actual musical complement to Bhargavas beautiful visual ballet, drawing at times on the rhythms and chants of the Holi festival, the result is one of Iyers warmest, most colorful creations to date, as rich melodically as it is texturally. Released by ECM on Blu-ray and DVD, RADHE RADHE: Rites of Holi is a kaleidoscopic 35-minute experience, with an 18-minute making-of documentary as a bonus.
