Chants, Hymns and Dances - Music of Gurdjieff and Tsabropoulos

by: Anja Lechner, Vassilis Tsabropoulos

Release Date September 20, 2004
Beautiful, haunting sonorous music - spiritual rather than religious in feel. I heard a track on Classic FM and was so impressed I had to buy the CD - at bargain price on Marketplace.

The CD has arrangements of Gurdjieff's spiritual music for cello and piano, as well as five pieces by pianist Tsabropoulos. The music often has an Armenian, Ukranian and Greek Orthodox tone and is played in a subdued and almost introvert manner. Piano and cello match each other perfectly sounding warm, dark and achingly beautiful.

Even at full price you will not be disappointed by this CD. Put it on when you are alone and need to think stuff through - or share it intimately with someone you love. Be warned. This is not background music. ... Read More:

...if you own the "Chants, Hymns and Dances - Music of Gurdjieff and Tsabropoulos" then you already have many of its best pieces, so it was redundant to me.

Triangle

by: Arild Andersen, Vassilis Tsabropoulos, John Marshall

Release Date February 16, 2004
"The Triangle" is the second release by this new trio comprising old stalwarts Arild Andersen on bass and John Marshall on percussion and a young Turk, or Greek in this case, Vassilis Tsabropoulos, on piano. The quality of the recording should appeal to anyone with an interest in contemporary jazz trios but there is a specific reason for those interested in the fusion of classical and jazz, namely the keyboard style of the classical pianist Tsabropoulos.

Critics seemed to have adopted two contrary positions – one is that Tsabropolous is the only classical pianist to play jazz with the necessary sensibility, feel and swing. The alternative view is that his classical style brings a unique quality to the very concept of a piano trio. For what it is ... Read More:
