these short piano pieces are simple, but absolutely not boring. gurdjieff and de hartmann wrote some of the most thoughtful and sincere music you'll ever hear. I found this CD over a year ago and it's one I return to over and over again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cacaphonic Harmonious, July 14, 2001

This review is from: Gurdjieff's Music for the Movements (Audio CD)

Truly an exposition of beautiful "objective" listening. This music will not put you to sleep. Transitions are abrupt and engaging throughout the score's entirity. I play the music whenever I find myself searching for something to do or am bored. This music will consume all negativity and poke the listner to begin a stirring sensation in their own mentation. The music is not sophisticated or eligant by no means, but has a way about it which will intrige one to listen again and again.

For people who have never practiced the movements and want to learn more about Gurdjieff, this is a great place to start. The movements music is designed to work on all three centers (intellectual, emotional, physical), when it is used in conjunction with the dances. Alone, it is beautiful and conducive to contemplation. For people who have practiced the movements, it brings evokes many associations. Van Dulleman is a fine pianist, and has done the world a service by making this music more available to the general public. De Hartmann's original recordings are also very highly recommended.
