The Promise
发行时间:2009-03-20
发行公司:ECM Records
简介: The versatile Greek pianist has already outlined a broad arc of musical possibility in his recordings for ECM from post-Bill Evans jazz with Arild Andersen to explorations of Gurdjieffs nomadic sound-world with Anja Lechner. The Promise picks up the implications of his earlier solo recital Akroasis(Hypnotic and mysterious, shimmering like ancient mosaics The Independent), but is more rigorously composed, carefully casting arpeggios into deep pools of silence. All pieces are Tsabropoulos originals, with the exception of Djivaeri, a Greek traditional tune. The album was recorded in 2008 in the resonant space of Athens Megaron Concert Hall, with Manfred Eicher producing.
