5.0 out of 5 stars Within 35 seconds I was enthralled, 6 Sep 2007

By	timothy evans (yokohama, kanagawa Japan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the most exhilerating body of work that I have heard for some time. And I heard it by accident. I was on Thai Airlines. I put on my headphone and choose Classical on Audio. And there I fell upon it. I had to wait till it went through the lot and I could use my limited classical knowledge to pinpoint it in the in-flight magazine. Such was my desire to devour it.
The music is a soundtrack to a 3 hour film set in Greece in the 1920s. The images on the CD depict: funerals, dead sheep in trees and children growing up. I have not seen the film. I am afraid. The music alone leaves me sitting in empty rooms staring out of windows. Kairandrou has written music of huge melody, delicacy, poignancy and at times you smell Greece. And then you are in Mexico, back in your room and off again to dream and cry.
I usually sit at home in silence. Not this week. My head bows to Eleni Kairandrou. Bravo. A work of brilliance.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is why I keep searching, 28 Jan 2009

By	J. Severidt "jornfin" (Rovaniemi, Finland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is why I keep listening to CDs in record stores, why I follow threads and check out recommendations: Every once in a while you come across something that is so utterly beautiful, so enriching and rewarding, that it almost leaves me horrified to think I could have gone through life without knowing it. Quite an absurd feeling, I know. But it keeps me searching, and it keeps me getting rewarded.

Greek composer Eleni Karaindrou is a case in point. When I first happened to listen to a recording of hers, I was almost shocked. Here was something almost shatteringly beautiful, and I had never even heard of it!
Most of Karaindrou's output is on ECM, and what better place for it? This music should appeal to open minded lovers of all kinds of music, and no other label merges genres the way Manfred Eicher's does. Karaindrou is an accomplished Greek composer of modern classical music with a very personal touch. I guess it is Greek, somehow Byzantine in any case (no Bouzouki, or anything like it! Just a south-eastern European feel to the music).

Most (all?) of her easily available works are soundtracks, mainly to the existentialist (and rather cryptic) films of Theo Angelopoulos. Let me hasten to say that this is not saying a thing on the quality or depth of the compositions! These works stand on their own feet as accomplished works of musical art. Where the soundtrack character does show, is in the structure of the music as a series of reoccurring motifs. Don't expect 10-15 independent "songs" or "pieces"! Each of the three excellent, overwhelmingly beautiful CDs of hers that I know and own by now offers 3-5 motifs which experience variations throughout the course of the film/album. There are linking bridges, sometimes wordless songs in between, before the circles inevitably close. Each of these motifs is heartbreaking in its introspective, often sorrowful yet never hopeless beauty. There is a distinct feel of loneliness and vulnerability, but also of nobleness and almost bottomless humaneness.

Each of the albums (I'll copy-paste this review and hope to be forgiven!) is outstanding. Also, there is never a feel of more-of-the-same. Each musical journey coming full circle is very different from the others.
I found the most recognizable motifs on "The Weeping Meadow", whereas "Ulysses' Gaze" (a film starring Harvey Keitel, by the way) benefits from Kim Kashkashian's gooseflesh-guaranteeing viola sound. "The Suspended Step of the Storch" has the most symphonic feel to it, with horns carrying one of the themes.

Give yourself a chance at musically induced happiness and give this a listen!

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Sadness, 30 Jan 2009

By	Big Al - See all my reviews

All tracks are very beautiful and sad. The only downside was that they were all similar.
