Like the Pandit Pran Nath album, which touches on Indian vocal music, this item can be considered as its Middle Eastern counterpart. It is certainly as mind lifting as the latter one, only it does not resurface as much. Hardly never to say the least. If you are acquainted with the Pandit and La Monte Young record, you can have an idea of the direction this gorgeous box will steer you into, except that it will go in another ethnic phased direction. Rare to say the least and stunningly great music !
Description of the music/instruments
The album is a vocal/musical rendering of the Epic of Gilgamesh (text adaptation & music written by Azrie, who also sings/recites and plays percussion), recorded Feb 3-4 1977. The music is fairly sombre, droning middle-eastern (Azrie's singing/reciting - in Arabic - is mixed far louder than the music).
Oud: Marcel Khalife; Nay: Abdessalem Safar; Kanoun (kanun): Saad Rajai; Viole de gambe: Marcello Ardizzone; Harp: Helene Tristani; Percussion: Darwish Al-Masri, Chris Hayward, Abed Azrie; 3 violoncelles, en alterance: Jacques Widerquer, Michel Choquet, Michel Lacrouste, William Stahl, Dany Duleroy, Gilbert Zanlonghi. Direction de l'ensemble: Dia Succari.
