Vassilis Tsabropoulos - Tibetan Dance!

The beautiful track "Tibetan Dance" is taken from Vassilis Tsabsopoulos' album "MELOS" (2008). Recorded by ECM Records in excellent audio quality. Listen and enjoy it.

U. T. Gandhi: percussion

Infos:
"MELOS is an extraordinary musical document from the team of pianist/composer Vassilis Tsabropoulos and cellist Anja Lechner (with subtle percussion support from U. T. Gandhi on a number of tracks) that sits at the nexus of many worlds, including East and West, composition and improvisation, dance and meditation, mind and body. The music mesmerizes as it progresses, with each of the viewpoints surfacing both independently and together, producing a sense of continual change and an experience that can be overwhelming.

Melos reverses this pattern, separately placing three Gurdjieff compositions within a set of pieces by Tsabropoulos. Although the performances of the earlier disc are stunningly beautiful, this release has a much more definite feel of owning the music and playing from inside it. The sense of individual improvisation is much stronger, as is the degree of close interplay between the piano and cello.

Tsabropoulos, initially trained as a classical player, has an extraordinarily beautiful touch, and makes the keyboard sing, virtually eliminating any percussiveness of hammer on string, even in sharper pieces like the two "Reflections."

The cello is the string instrument having a range that most closely matches the human voice and thus can really sing in the right hands. This ability is Lechner's forte.

The sound created by these two marvelous musicians is further enhanced by the space in which it was recorded - the Auditorio Radio Svizzeria in Lugano, Italy. Like the sound of The Third Man (ECM, 2008) with trumpeter Enrico Rava and pianist Stefano Bollani, the room's liveliness greatly enhances the sense of a physical, almost tactile, presence.

Tsabropoulos' compositions have a static beauty and drama. Drawing their inspiration from Greek folk music and Byzantine hymns, each piece envelopes the listener by the simplicity of peace and reflection, making the swinging section of "Vocalise" stand out as unexpected.

Once again, ECM has captured music that exists between and beyond labels. Tsabropoulos, Lechner and Gandhi create a deep emotional well—drink from it and be changed."

Great artist - wise use of cello which delves into one's soul. Looked for the negative comment to accompany the dislike and I have come to this conclusion: a teenager likes to go through everyone's channel regardless of the genre or content and place a dislike and since they have no thought, they cannot justify. I have seen the same on other channels called "ambient" "psytrance" and numerous international artist clips. Take heart all who "like" - you can think and give comment. Kudos to tiad
