  • Orama: Vassilis Saleas Plays Vangelis
    Vasilis Saleas is the foremost clarinet player in Greece. A former accompanist for Mikis Theodorakis, Dionisis Savopoulas, and Stamatis Spanoudakis, Saleas has worked with Greek new age instrumentalist and composer Vangelis Papathanasiou since the early '90s. His debut solo album, Orama: The Music of Vangelis, featured interpretations of Vangelis' compositions. His second solo album, Vasilios Saleas, followed in 2000. Born in Mesedogi in 1958, Saleas moved to Athens the following year. Taught to play the clarinet at the age of nine by his father and uncle, he performed his first club concert two years later. By the age of 14 he had mastered the clarinet and recorded his first disc. ~ Craig Harris, All Music Guide

  • La Conquista de Granada - Isabel la Católica
    La Conquista de Granada - Isabel la Católica
    Las Cortes europeas, los Cancioneros y Musica Andalusi Nazari
    Pneuma's La Conquista de Granada: Isabel la Católica featuring Eduardo Paniagua and Música Antigua addresses in detail a number of obscure factors dealing with Spanish history. "Isabel la Católica" was, of course, the Isabella connected in most American minds with Ferdinand and Isabella, who in 1493 paid for Columbus to sail the ocean blue. Relatively few would be aware that her marriage to Ferdinand would have long-reaching implications for the political makeup of the interior of Spain, as it was during her reign that the Moorish kingdoms within were conquered. 1492 was also the year that Granada was overcome and the last Arabs expelled from the Iberian Peninsula.

    In order to illustrate the time and circumstances of this period, Paniagua has assembled a free-ranging program culled from a number of sources; instrumental dance music from German, Italian, and Andalusian sources and a couple of lengthy Arabic ballads from text-only sources that have been matched to melodies culled from Spanish lute music written by Luys de Narváez. These are played on a mixture of period instruments including the viola da braccio, gamba, vihuela, oud, recorders, dulcimer, and miscellaneous percussion. The material is so obscure that one might not feel compelled to argue against the authenticity of the program; however, once you get a sense of what Paniagua is up to it is hard not to conclude that some of the historical inferences and musical relationships employed are conjectural. The recording is very well made, but quite loud; the percussion booms and the instruments are very up close in a dark and rather heavy ambience. The Arabic ballads are very long, with many verses, and the singing by Cesar Carazo is okay, but rather bland in a way and wears out one's attention span before long.

    The most striking thing about this project is that Paniagua informs us that Milanese composer Joan Ambrosio Dalza, whose lute music is prominently featured in the early editions of Petrucci's Odhecathon, was not Italian but Andalusian. Given Dalza's name and stylistic fingerprints, this is a useful suggestion that has some credibility -- certainly nothing for sure is known about Dalza. Also included in this program is Hans Neusidler's Welscher Tantz -- Wacha Mesa, and although it is a very nice recording, one wonders what the Welsh dance written by the German composer is doing here. While the music is generally good, the scholarly component of Pneuma's La Conquista de Granada: Isabel la Católica seems to reach a bit too far, and this is not helped by the indifferently translated and confusing English liner notes. ~ Uncle Dave Lewis , All Music Guide

  • Unesco Collection [14]. Anthology Of Indian Classical Music - A Tribute To Alain Daniélou
    As an introduction to Indian classical music, this set served students, libraries and assorted listeners for many years. Today, improved sound fidelity and increased familiarity with world music genres have decreased demand for this release, but I would recommend it very highly to those already acquainted with Indian art music. Why? Because it features some of the earliest recordings (early 1950s) by legendary performers like Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan as well as rarely-heard musicians such as D. R. Parvatikar. One can note differences in interpretation and improvisation methods employed when dealing with recording time constraints. In addition, this set is a fitting tribute to the pioneering French musicologist Alain Danielou, who collected all this material. His work is comparable to that of Alan Lomax in its excellence and dedication. Therefore, if you are curious about how Indian music sounded half a century ago (and it has changed), these CDs will come as something of a revelation.

    This is an exciting compilation from the 50's that includes great musicians like Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan in their primes, and from south india the great singer DK Pattamal and the hard to find esteemed bamboo flautist T. Vishwanathn (see Nonesuch recording with L. Shankar).
    For these last two the CD is worth having alone.
    Wonderful music for the serious collector of Indian music

    This is an old UN project originally compiled on six LPs, now on three CDs. Half the set is devoted to north India, half to south India. This may have whetted Europeans' appetites when it first came out, but has little to offer today's interested listener. The tracks are largely excerpts from longer recordings; some of the performances are all right but too short to hold any interest. The liner notes are really bad, with much misinformation. Sound quality: so-so - these recordings are decades old, and especially the drum sounds are seriously dated.

    The first disc of Hindustani music has some sideshow features. Most bizarre of all are a dismal khyal by the Dagar brothers, who of course were famous and outstanding dhrupad singers - edited together from a longer performance via very ugly cuts - and the beenkar Swami Dattatreya Rama Rao Parvatikar (1916-1990), a "wandering monk" who "observes a vow of silence and never speaks". In point of fact, this figure styled himself the "Veena Maharaj", emperor of veena, and travelled around putting together a "synthesis" of Hindustani and Carnatic classical music, and "experimented" with the "Dattatreya Veena", a combination of veena, sitar and swarmandal. The inane liner notes reveal that his "Gat is a light fantasia". The longest track, Ali Akbar Khan and Ravi Shankar in jugalbandi, is perhaps the best, though still short, at 14 minutes, and marred by ugly cuts.

    Tracks 1-4 on disc two continue the Hindustani set; tracks 5-11 are Carnatic. Nandan Prasad's Malkauns bhajan, competently sung, is the only Hindustani item the set presents in entirety, except for Parvatikar's complete veena performance in Suha Kamod, which is of more questionable merit, heh. (He also presents something as far-fetched as a swarmandal solo.) The Carnatic items fare better, with three complete kriti performances. The last, Dixitar's "Ganesha Kumara" played by Budalur Krishnamurty Shastri on gottuvadyam, is especially beautiful.

    The last disc is all-Carnatic. A veena duet on Tyagaraja's "Sadhincene" by Devakotai Narayana Iyengar & Kalyana Krishna Bhagavatar shows promise but is faded out after about one minute of the actual kriti. The powerful snippets from Radha Shri Ram's Bharatanatyam ensemble are actually enhanced by the poor recording quality: the mrdangam booms like thunder. Vidya's veena inclusion sounds good, but again, there are today whole CDs full of music as good and better. Otherwise, it is the Pattammal who brings superstar quality to this compilation. Unfortunately, she is not at her best in any of these tracks.

    In conclusion, the Indo-curious listener would do much, much better to invest in a number of different CDs of modern recording, such as are readily available today - especially as this anthology, in an attempt to show a wide variety of Indian classical music, actually gathers together such a wealth of semi-classical material that the real classics are kept to a minimum, showcasing nothing of the real breadth in the field. Adding to that the questionable recording quality, musical merit of a considerable portion of the artists, and the fact that the music is obviously much better heard in full length, and the advise can only be to avoid this anthology completely.

    Produced under the patronage of Unesco and International Music Council. This record is a tribute to Alain Daniélou, founder of the collection of Unesco traditional music. This is a re-issue of the first recordings made in India by Daniélou himself.

  • Veretski Pass - Traditional East European Jewish Music
    Veretski Pass
    Traditional East European Jewish Music,2004
    With Eastern European roots that go back centuries, when Jews and Gentiles made music together before anyone thought of calling it "world music", Veretski Pass offers a unique and exciting combination of virtuosic musicianship and raw energy that has excited concertgoers across the world. Between the three members of this band, there are eight instruments on stage; violin, viola, two tsimbls (hammered dulcimer) , 19th century button accordion, bass, bassetl (three stringed bass), basy (three stringed Polish folk cello) and baraban (Jewish style drum).
    Playing in an unbound, energetic "village style", this band of veterans plays klezmer music of historical Eastern Europe on original instruments; melodies from Ukraine, Carpathian-Ruthenia, Bessarabia and Rumania. Much of this rare music has been gleaned from field recordings gathered by the musicians themselves in numerous trips throughout Europe. With its colorful instrumentation and unique arrangements, this seminal ensemble carries on the ancient tradition of klezmer musicians, playing music of all kinds, but with a recognizable Jewish sound.
    Carefully researched regional styles combined with unrestrainable energy gives this group it's unique sound, which has been called "raw, naked and unashamed". The music is always fresh, because nothing is fixed except the style. Veretski Pass is capturing audiences everywhere with it's spontaneous and explosive renditions of the lost repertoire of Eastern European Jewry.

    In exotic Eastern Europe, the roots of World Music go back centuries. Jews, Christians, and Moslems, Rumanians, Ukrainians, and Roma played music together in an atmosphere of sharing, in a multicultural area where professional musicians had to know as many musical styles as the diverse languages of the people with whom they lived and worked.
    Confidently crossing the border between mature mastery and village madness, Veretski Pass, an ensemble of veteran klezmer artists Cookie Segelstein, Stuart Brotman and Joshua Horowitz, plays Old Country Music; melodies from Medieval Poland, dances from Bessarabia, Ruthenia, and Bukovina, music with origins in the Ottoman Empire, lands once fabled as the borderlands of the East and the West.
    This virtuosic group of musical eccentrics synthesizes raw energy and polished musicianship to produce music of unusual depth and power, with fire and finesse, warmth and wonder, in a variety of traditional sonorities. A full palette of complementary tone colours pours from expertly played violin, viola, bass viol, button accordion, bass drum, and tsimbl.
    Whether teaching a workshop, or working their crowd into a frenzy in concert, this trio of vibrant musicians draws rave reviews wherever they appear.

    Cookie Segelstein, 19th Century violin and viola, received her Masters degree in Viola from The Yale School of Music in 1984. She is principal violist in Orchestra New England and assistant principal in The New Haven Symphony Orchestra. Cookie teaches klezmer fiddling at Living Traditions' KlezKamp and The Albuquerque Academy, has been on staff twice at Centrum's Festival of American Fiddle Tunes in Port Townsend, Wash., and teaches a klezmer class at Educational Center for the Arts in New Haven, Connecticut. She has performed with The Klezical Tradition, The Klezmatics, Klezmer Fats and Swing with Pete Sokolow and the late Howie Leess, Kapelye, Margot Leverett and the Klezmer Conservatory Band. She is a founding member of The Youngers of Zion with Henry Sapoznik, and has recently joined Budowitz. She has presented lecture demonstrations and workshops on klezmer fiddling all over the country, including at Yale University, University of Wisconsin in Madison, University of Oregon in Eugene, Pacific University and SUNY-Cortland. She was featured on the ABC documentary, "A Sacred Noise", heard on HBO's "Sex and the City", and on several recordings including the Koch International label with Orchestra New England in "The Orchestral Music of Charles Ives", The Klezical Tradition's "Family Portrait" and Adrianne Greenbaum's "Fleytmuzik". She is also active as a Holocaust educator and curriculum advisor and has been a frequent lecturer at the Women's Correctional Facility in Niantic, CT. Cookie lives in Madison, Connecticut.
    Joshua Horowitz, tsimbl and 19th Century accordion, received his Masters degree in Composition and Music Theory from the Academy of Music in Graz, Austria, where he taught Music Theory and served as Research Fellow and Director of the Klezmer Music Research Project for eight years. He is the founder and director of the ensemble Budowitz and has performed with Rubin and Horowitz, Brave Old World, Adrienne Cooper and Ruth Yaakov. Joshua taught Advanced Jazz Theory at Stanford University with the late saxophonist Stan Getz and is a regular teacher at KlezKamp, The Albuquerque Academy and Klez Kanada. His musicological work is featured in four books, including The Sephardic Songbook with Aron Saltiel and The Ultimate Klezmer, and he has written numerous articles on the counterpoint of J.S. Bach. His recordings with Budowitz, the Vienna Chamber Orchestra. Rubin & Horowitz, Alicia Svigals, Adrianne Greenbaum and Fialke have achieved international recognition and he is the recipient of more than 40 awards, including the Prize of Honor for his orchestral composition, Tenebrae, presented by the Austrian government. Beside his work as a musician, he led the first post-WWII music therapy group at the pioneering Beratungszentrum in Graz, Austria. He is currently working on a book of his essays for Scarecrow Press. Joshua lives in Berkeley, California.
    Stuart Brotman, bass, basy, and baraban, has been an accomplished performer, arranger and recording artist in the ethnic music field for over 35 years. He holds a B.A. in music from the University of California at Los Angeles, and has taught at KlezKamp, Buffalo on the Roof, the Balkan Music and Dance Workshops and KlezKanada and has been recording, touring, and teaching New Jewish Music with world class ensemble Brave Old World since 1989. Long admired as a versatile soloist and sensitive accompanist in traditional and pop music circles, he has toured and recorded with Canned Heat, Kaleidoscope, Geoff and Maria Muldaur and played cimbalom with Ry Cooder at Carnegie Hall. Stu appeared in the Los Angeles production of Ghetto, the San Francisco production of Shlemiel the First, and performs frequently in ethnic music specialty roles for TV and film. A founding member of Los Angeles' Ellis Island Band, he has been a moving force in the Klezmer revival since its beginning. He produced The Klezmorim's Grammy nominated album, Metropolis. He toured with the Yiddisher Caravan, a federally funded Yiddish folklife show, and has performed with The Klezmorim, Kapelye, Andy Statman, the Klezmer Conservatory Band, Davka, The San Francisco Klezmer Experience, Khevrisa and Itzhak Perlman. Stuart lives in Berkeley, California.

    The violin, played by Cookie Segelstein, a 19th C. Maggini copy, remained the representative instrument of klezmer music right up until the beginning of the 20th Century, when it was replaced by the clarinet as the "quintessentially Jewish" instrument. Early documents from the 16th Century even show the icon of a violin as the emblem for a klezmer guild. Older styles of bowing, fingering, phrasing and ornamenting, imititating various gestures of East Ashkenazic synagogue singing, were considered lost and forgotten until just recently. These techniques form an integral part of the unique sound of Veretski Pass.
    The viola, also called Groyse Fidl [Yid. Big Fiddle], Sekund, Kontra or Zsidó Bratsch [Hun.], played by Cookie Segelstein, is typically used for the constant playing of chords in a rhythmic style. According to descriptions by Gypsies throughout Romania and Hungary, Jews typically used various types of this chord instrument, with either 3 or 4 strings. The function of string accompaniment fell out of use with the increased inclusion of wind instruments in the klezmer ensembles around the end of the 19th Century, and although still commonly used in the folk music of Hungarian minorities throughout Romania, Cookie Segelstein is the only one to have explored the viola as a solo instrument in klezmer music.
    The tsimbl (hammered dulcimer, or cymbalom), played by Joshua Horowitz and Stuart Brotman formed the rhythmic and timbral backbone of klezmer music from the 16th to the late 19th Century. Its ability to play accompaniment as well as melody made it a versatile and necessary member of the klezmer ensemble. The construction and tuning of the tsimbls in Veretski Pass were only made possible after years of detailed research into the iconography, descriptions and early existing recordings of the instrument. The various types of strokes, ornaments and asymmetric phrasings and rhythms used, points to an older, more refined approach of playing, and lends a combination of percussive brittleness as well as a soft ethereal sound cloud to Veretski Pass.
    The accordion used by Joshua Horowitz was built in 1889 By Karl Budowitz. It represents the earliest type of fully chromatic button accordion, and formed the basis of the Russian Bayan developed in the early 20th Century. The warm, reedy sound, which at times yields the uncanny illusion of a small wind orchestra, is made possible through the materials used for its construction - bone, wood, goat leather and brass. Its ability to ornament and phrase like the human voice is achieved largely through the smaller, more controllable bellows and the specific fingering techniques used. The earliest recordings of klezmer music on accordion (ca.1913) reveal an identical sound and style to that found in Veretski Pass.
    The basy played by Stu Brotman is a small bass played in the Tatra Mountains of Poland. It is now usually made out of a standard 'cello. It has three strings: a D string and two A strings an octave apart, played together as a pair.
    The bass, played by Stuart Brotman, made in 1822, is frequently seen in early depictions of klezmer ensembles from the 16th Century, often strapped around the shoulder to enable processional playing. The instrument fell completely out of use by the beginning of the 20th Century - a fact that is difficult to understand, given its versatility. Rather than merely taking over a schematized bass, the bass in Veretski Pass weaves in and out of the bass and tenor role, even interacting abundantly with the melody in the lower octave. It provides the very distinct "moaning" sound typical in klezmer music, through frequent use of glissandi and speech-oriented articulation. The short bow also enables variegated articulation and the three gut strings lend Veretski Pass its unique driving sound.
    The baraban, (Yid. drum) was reconstructed by the Remo company under the supervision of Stuart Brotman. It has two heads with a cymbal mounted on its top, which is commonly played by a fork or spoon. The Poik provides the backbeat for dancing tunes. In the hands of a skilled player, it can provide an endless array of sounds, at times mimicking the human voice.
    The Carpathian flute played by Stu is known in Romania as the tilinca. It is an end-blown flute without finger holes, a simple wooden tube sharpened on one end to form the mouthpiece. It is blown in such a manner as to produce overtones; the end is opened or closed with one finger to select even or odd harmonics.

    Veretski Pass, Traditional East European Jewish Music is a recording by the trio of the same name made up of klezmer veterans Cookie Segelstein, Joshua Horowitz and Stuart Brotman. Much of the music on this recording comes from and near the region of the Veretski Pass (after which the group is named) in the Transcarpathian region of what is now Ukraine, the main crossroads through which the Jews traversed the Carpathian Bow. Some melodies were passed on to Cookie by her father who was born in the town of Nizhni Veretski, at the base of this pass. Others were collected by the members themselves in their travels throughout Eastern Europe. Much of the music on this CD is recorded for the first time. The instruments used on this recording are largely 19th Century versions of the violin, viola, 3 stringed bass, basy (3 stringed polish folk cello), bayan (early chromatic button accordion), tsimbl (Jewish hammered dulcimer) and baraban (Jewish bass drum).

    There is a stunning suite of Crimean Tatar music which is both haunting and virtuosic. The Crimean Tatars are considered one of the three indigenous peoples of the Crimean Peninsula. Hoping to strip the Crimean Tatars of their ethnicity, Stalin eliminated close to half of their population and decimated their cultural institutions. The Tatars therefore viewed the German occupation of Crimea as their last hope of survival. The Nazis in turn saw this as a unique opportunity to turn other Russian minorities against Stalin, so they declared the Tatars a people and recorded their folk music on 78 r.p.m discs. These recordings were made available to Verestki Pass by Prof. Martin Schwartz (from the collection of Dr. Zev Feldman) and reappear here for the first time in a new interpretation.
    There is a rare Karaite song, followed by improvisations and a pyrotechnic fiddle song performed on a scordatura violin. The Karaite Jews accept only the written word of the Old Testament and reject the rabbinical Oral Commentaries. As a people, they have also been brutally subjugated by their neighbors and spurned by the Jewish Community at large. Their music has been kept close to their culture.
    There are also original compositions, a suite with a bass and viola duet, traditional Jewish and Ukrainian dance tunes all accompanied by booklet with rich photographs and finely wrought essays by each of the members of the trio, making this album a treasure trove of sound and word. This is truly a creative and powerful use of a small group of players who make music reminiscent of raucous and confident village musicians, nothing short of a redefinition of the genre we now call klezmer.

  • Ravi Shankar - Portrait of Genius
    Ravi Shankar has been described as one of the greatest musicians on the planet. This record, one of his classic World Pacific albums, clearly lends credence to that statement. But the thing that makes this record interesting is the fact that it contains a unique fusion of Shankar and his group performing with respected jazz flutist Paul Horn. It's an extremely gratifying combination, and Horn plays with a true jazzman's restraint on the five short selections that open the record. The second half is
    devoted to one long (20 minute) traditional raga, "Raga Multani," in which Shankar's awesome ability and stamina is matched only by that of his ensemble, especially Alla Rakha on tabla. Essential for any fan of Shankar or Indian music. Awesome. ~ Matthew Greenwald, All Music Guide

  • Ravi Shankar & Ali Akbar Khan - More Flowers Of India
    Ravi Shankar & Ali Akbar Khan - More Flowers Of India
    Fifty years ago, ambassadors Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan initiated us into the arcane mysteries of their nation's centuries-old traditions and one cannot understate the impact the music of India has subsequently had on Western culture. Little more than a decade after the first visits of these great masters to Europe and states, the entire map of Western popular music had been compprehensively redrawn.

    By the early Seventies, both Shankar and Khan had been spearheaded, the global musical landscape had altered irrevocably. The folk and protest movement spearheaded by Bob Dylan in the early Sixties may have opened rock's eyes to a world beyond the narrow confines of boy-meets-girl, by India gave it the musical means to address the whole universe.

    An assortment of early work from Ravi Shankar -- most of it done before his 60s rise to fame in the US, and with a sound that's very much ahead of its time! The first large part of the CD features spare recordings that were later issued on Columbia and World Pacific -- mostly long trio ragas that feature Ravi's sitar with tabla and tamboura -- on titles that include "Raga Ahir Bhairav", "Raba Yamani Bilawal", "Theme From Pater Panchali", "Raga Marwa", and "Raga Sindhi Bhairavi". One shorter track also features Ali Akbar Khan on sarod with Ravi's sitar -- on "Raga Jhila Kafi" -- and the CD closes with a 15 minute "Raga Darbari", which features Ali Akbar Khan on sarod.

    1. Raga Ahir Bhairav
    2. Raga Simhendra Madhyamam
    3. Raga Sindhi-Bhairavi

  • Ding Chengyun & Fu Lina - Harmonious Qin And Se
    The guqin is the modern name for a plucked seven-string Chinese musical instrument of the zither family. It has been played since ancient times, and has traditionally been favored by scholars and literati as an instrument of great subtlety and refinement, as highlighted by the quote "a gentleman does not part with his qin or se without good reason," as well as being associated with the ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius. It is sometimes referred to by the Chinese as "the father of Chinese music" or "the instrument of the sages".
    The se is an ancient Chinese plucked zither (string instrument). It is probably the ancestor of many Asian zithers, including the Chinese guzheng and the Japanese koto. It has 25 strings with moveable bridges and has a range of up to five octaves.

  • Yang Lining - Three Variations on Plum Blossom
    Born in Peking (Beijing) in 1960, Yang Lining began music at the age of 9, and Gu Qin cithara at the age of 14. She studied Gu Qin with the greatest masters of this noble instrument. She was awarded as a "Master" by the Central Conservatory of Music of Peking in 2007, the highest distinction for a classic Chinese musician.

    Yang Lining starts very early her career of soloist, first in China, then in Japan , finally in Europe , where she moves to Paris in 1987.

    She performed many concerts and recordings until the year 2000, when she decided to look at other activities. As she is a tea expert, she decided to open her own tea room in Paris.

    The deteriorated former reception rooms of an 18 th century mansion, « Hotel Mazin-La Fayette », located 8 rue d'Anjou, were chosen in connection with the historical background of the place (last residence of General La Fayette) and in connection too with the perfect location in the luxury and business district faubourg Saint-Honore.

    The first two rooms, entirely restored, opened in 2001. A restored room opened each year until 2005, then the "1728" took the final appearance we know today: a 450 square meters gastronomic restaurant, gallery and tea room dedicated to 17 th to 19 th century fine arts and Chinese archaeology too (Mrs Yang Lining is an antiques collector).

    While she still was a child, Yang Lining lived the end of the "red years" of the Chinese Cultural Revolution; she still remains scandalized by the major destructions and burnings of historical and antiques music instruments and scores. This painful memory stimulated her wish to communicate Chinese culture and classic music to the next generation. In this direction, she has created her own holding and she controls now 100% of the capital. She has been recently nominated C.E.O. of the trust company of the 1728.

    In the year 2007, the 1728 realized a 2.2 M€ turnover excluding VAT, and served a little bit more than 30,000 meals (for lunch and dinner). Privatization programmes also provided a 460,000 € turnover excluding VAT for the year 2007.

    Yang Lining still works on the project of an institute which purpose will be a bridge between 18 th century French fine arts she loves, and Chinese classic fine arts (Song and Ming periods are her favourites). Her main concert instrument is a 700 years old cithara of the Ming era. This project should appear within three years.

  • Sony Classical - Great Performances (1903-1998) [Box Set]
    LEGENDARY RECORGINGS FROM THE WORLD'S GREATEST ARTISTS...
    80 CLASSIC TRACKS OVER 4 HOURS OF MUSIC
    This 4 CD set not only contains some of the best performances of the last century, but also works as a comprehensive review of some of the finest musical literature spanning from the Baroque period to Modern Avant-Garde. Some of the earlier recordings are better for nostalgia purposes due to the poor mediums of the times, but the performances for the most part are professional. Only complaint: Some of the best works (Wagner's "Die Walküre", for example) are only provided in excerpt form to showcase a certain performer or section of the piece. Otherwise a worthy investment for the price and amount of quality music that is presented.

    Giuseppe Campanari (Performer), Max Hediguer (Performer), Edgar Meyer (Performer), Hector Console (Performer), Leonard Rose (Performer), Yo-Yo Ma (Performer), Benny Goodman (Performer), Gioachino Rossini (Composer), Henryk Wieniawski (Composer), Bela Bartok (Composer), Ludwig van Beethoven (Composer), Heitor Villa-Lobos (Composer), Felix [1] Mendelssohn (Composer), Camille Saint-Saens (Composer), Giuseppe Verdi (Composer), Niccolo Paganini (Composer), Maurice Ravel (Composer), Samuel Barber (Composer), Johann Sebastian Bach (Composer), Kurt Weill (Composer)

  • The Shin - EgAri
    The Shin
    EgAri, 2006
    The Shin formed in 1998 in Germany where Zaza Miminoshvili and Zurab J. Gagnidze have been living since the end of the 20th century. In the early 21st century, Mamuka Ghaghanidze hurried to join them. Since then, The Shin has been on their musical mission as a trio.
    The group members are well known even in their Georgian homeland as leading composers and musicians. They have scripted pieces for productions at the Tbilisi State Theater, numerous film, TV, and radio projects, have participated in various festivals and have won several prizes in recognition of their work.
    Amazingly, The Shin are able to smoothly combine Georgian folk melodies with jazz, native polyphonic singing with scat, and in general the music of the near Orient with the modern sounds popular in the West today.

    The Shin, in their search for a sound that is definitively Georgian, has created a trans-regional fusion of various Georgian styles. Their project EgAri is based on Georgian instrumental music, traditional polyphonic vocals, and folk dance, and unites for the first time these quite separate segments of Georgian culture. It is an unusual, and highly non-traditional combination of archaic and modern, Caucasian and non-Caucasian instruments, elements of Georgian harmonies with diverse jazz threads. The Shin are not iconoclasts, however. Only what continues to evolve will remain — in that spirit, The Shin see themselves as safe keepers of Georgian traditions, not its destroyers.
    EgAri brought together the best musicians on the national scene, in particular virtuosos of the archaic instruments. EgAri is the reinitiation of a peaceful dialog between East and West, old and new, "Ours" and "Not-Ours", that has been characteristic of Georgian culture for centuries. This dialog is recognizable in the poetry of Rustaveli, the paintings of Pirosmani, the architecture of Tbilisi, the choreography of George Balanchine (Georgi Balanchivadze), the films of Otar Ioseliani, and yes... …the music of The Shin.
