(CD) CONCERT IN ATHENS
An exceptional live recording, "Concert In Athens", the tenth ECM release by Greek composer Eleni Karaindrou, incorporates moving performances by guests Kim Kashkashian and Jan Garbarek. The US violist and the Norwegian saxophonist have each made important contributions to Karaindrou's music in the past, Garbarek with his playing on the film-score for The Beekeeper (see Music for Films) and Kashkashian as the key musical protagonist of Ulysses' Gaze. Themes of both those films are revisited here, amongst much that is new. A primary emphasi...

(CD) MODERATO CANTABILE
Μετά από μια δεκαετία συνεργασίας με το κουαρτέτο Tarkovsky και την πρόσφατη συνεργασία τους στο άλμπουμ Il Pergolese σε συνεργασία με την τραγουδίστρια Μaria Pia De Vito, η γερμανίδα τσελίστα Anja Lechner και ο γάλλος πιανίστας Fran?ois Couturier διαμορφώνουν και παρουσιάζουν το δικό τους ντουέτο. Οι καλλιτέχνες προσεγγίζουν τη μουσική από διαφορετικές γωνίες. Η Lechner είναι μια κλασική σολίστ με ένα ασυνήθιστο ενδιαφέρον προς την τέχνη του αυτοσχεδιασμού, ενώ ο Couturier, είναι ένας μουσικός που με βάση τη jazz έχει προχωρήσει και σε άλ...

(CD) INCIDENTALS
Tim Berne has been described as "a saxophonist and composer of granite conviction" by The New York Times. Incidentals is the fourth album from his spirited Snakeoil band and the second (following on from 2015's You've Been Watching Me) to feature the quintet line-up in which his core group with clarinettist Oscar Noriega, pianist Matt Mitchell and drummer/vibraphonist Ches Smith is augmented by guitarist Ryan Ferreira. The music is characteristically action-packed in the Berne tradition: powerful, dynamic, often fast-moving - yet also very...

(CD) GNOSIS
In this vivid and exciting project, the Santiago-raised and New York-based pianist-composer David Virelles looks towards one melting pot from the vantage point of another. A far-reaching work with deep cultural roots, Gnosis speaks of transculturation and traditions, and of the complex tapestry of Cuba's music - the sacred, the secular, and the ritualistic - but the work's shapes and forms could only have been created by a gifted contemporary player thoroughly versed in the art of the improvisers. Strings, woodwinds and percussion all have...

(CD) ADAM'S LAMENT
Arvo Part's Adam's Lament for chorus and orchestra was commissioned by the cultural capital cities Istanbul and Tallin in 2010 and 2011. It is based on writings of Saint Silouan (1866-1938), in which the Russian Orthodox monk on Mount Athos describes Adam's pain at the loss of Paradise. It was not the first time Part was inspired to compose a work on Silouan's texts; in 1991 he published Silouans Song ("My soul yearns after the Lord") for string orchestra (recorded on ECM with the Te Deum, the Magnificat and the Berlin Mass). When setting ...

(CD) CROSS MY PALM WITH SILVER
A year after his impressionistic, critically-lauded ECM debut Into The Silence, trumpeter Avishai Cohen's Cross My Palm With Silver introduces a programme of new pieces which put the focus on the ensemble, on teamwork, with a quartet of the highest calibre. The adroit, almost telepathic interplay among the musicians allows Avishai Cohen to soar, making it clear why he is one of the most talked-about jazz musicians on the contemporary scene. "All of these people together are my dream team", says the charismatic trumpeter of fellow players...

(CD) KOMITAS
The Armenian Gurdjieff Folk Instruments Ensemble was founded by Levon Eskenian to play 'ethnographically authentic' arrangements of the G.I. Gurdjieff/Thomas de Hartmann piano music. Their debut album on ECM, Music of G.I. Gurdjieff, was widely acclaimed, and won an Edison Award as Album of the Year in 2012. Now Eskenian and his musicians turn their attention to the music of Komitas Vardapet (1869-1935). Composer, ethnomusicologist, arranger, singer and priest, Komitas is popularly held to be the founder of contemporary music in Armenia, a...

Ulysses' Gaze was awarded the Grand Jury Prize at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival. Ulysses' Gaze, the album, is the third ECM recording to feature music written by Eleni Karaindrou for her countryman Angelopoulos.
