Composer:
Georges Ivanivitch Gurdjieff

Artist(s):
Anja Lechner
Vassilis Tsabropoulos

Background: 'Chants, Hymns and Dances' features music of GI Gurdjieff in new arrangements for cello and piano by Anja Lechner and Vassilis Tsabropoulos, as well as compositions by Tsabropoulos based, in part, upon Byzantine hymns. The focus of the album is music derived, directly or indirectly, from the oral music tradition.

Gurdjieff’s musical works were amongst the first pieces in the West to take account of the diversity of music resonating in the wider world. Neither wholly 'western' nor wholly 'eastern' in themselves, they suggest a window thrown open to the orient.

German cellist Anja Lechner sensed the music's potential for her new duo with Greek pianist Vassilis Tsabropoulos. Its context seemed immediately familiar to them.

Despite their very different backgrounds, Anja Lechner and Vassilis Tsabropoulos have in common the fact that they are classical musicians with an uncommon facility for improvisation. The Gurdjieff material has never previously been treated as freely as it is here.
