BRAHEM ANOUAR/LE PAS DU CHAT NOIR

Descripción

HYPNOTIC MAGNETIC NEW ALBUM BY ANOUAR BRAHEM WHICH ADDS A NEW DIMENSION TO OUR KNOWLEDGE OF THIS EXCEPTIONAL TUNISIAN MUSICIAN. LE PAS DU CHAT NOIR GIVES THE CLEAREST INDICATION YET OF THE WORK OF BRAHEM AS COMPOSER AND FEATURES A SPACIOUS CHAMBER MUSIC THAT RESONATES WITH THE FRESHNESS OF IMPROVISATION. THE INSTRUMENTATION IS UNIQUE: OUD PIANO ACCORDION. BRAHEMS WRITING FOR THIS COMBINATION IS HIGHLY EVOCATIVE METICULOUSLY CONTROLLED AND SPARSE. HALF OF THE MAGIC AS HE NOTES RESIDES IN THE NOT-PLAYED IN THE MARVELLOUS MINGLING OF OVERTONES SOUNDS THAT RISE FROM THE PIANO TO BLEND WITH THE WARM TONES OF THE OUD AND THE BREATH OF THE ACCORDIONS BELLOWS.
