Anna Noferini, Luigi Cozzolino Georges Ivanovitch Gurdjieff. Hymns And Songs, Musique Pour Les Mouvements(2024)

The school of G.I. Gurdjieff “In the beginning it was a vibration… or, if you prefer, the Word”. Who is Georges Ivanovitch Gurdjieff, and what is the nature of the message he conveyed?

Even today, more than seventy years after his death, Georges Ivanovitch Gurdjieff remains an enigmatic figure. Despite access to his writings and music, defining him is no straightforward task. His message was far from a simple directive aimed solely at his contemporaries. It was a profound teaching, gleaned from his extensive travels to the East, which came at the cost of immense personal sacrifices. It is a call to inner evolution, charting a course for both current and future generations. His teachings act as a bridge between Eastern wisdom and Western science.

Known for his unequivocal baritone voice and inspiring story, this International Bluegrass Vocalist of the Year Award winner has recorded some of the songs that led him to become a gospel and country music performer. This Alabama native has come full circle, breathing new life into some of his favorite hymns and gospel tunes. Joined by musical icons Vince Gill, Alison Krauss, Ricky Skaggs, and more, Walker's straightforward renditions remind us of the joys of the hymnal in that old country church.

A fascinating new project by German cellist Anja Lechner and Greek pianist Vassilis Tsabropoulos, Chants, Hymns and Dances, could be subtitled “Music from the Crossroads of the World”. It is a project that blurs the dividing lines between East and West, between composition and arrangement and improvisation, and between contemporary and traditional music. At the centre of the repertoire are compositions by Tsabropoulos, which take as their inspirational starting point ancient Byzantine hymns, and music by the Armenian-born philosopher-composer Georges Ivanovitch Gurdjieff (c.1877-1949) which draws upon melodies and rhythms, both sacred and secular, of the Caucasus, the Middle East and Central Asia.
