More Info

Traditionelle Musik aus USBEKISTAN, die der SUFI-Musik nahesteht, gesungen von MUNADJAT YULCHIEVA. Melancholische & sehnsuchtsvolle Liebeslieder, Stücke die die schöne Natur besingen, Religiöses, .. v.a. auf Klängen der Langhalslaute "Rubab", der "Gidjak" (Spießgeige), der "Doira" (Rahmentrommel), und der "Nay" (Querflöte) basierend. Besonders beeindruckend aber die Stimme von YULCHIEVA, die wie ein eigenständiges Instrument für sich steht !

"This CD submerges the listener in the musical culture of Uzbekistan. The main attraction is the voice of the country’s most distinguished traditional singer, Munadjat Yulchieva, whose dark vibrant tones already exerted their particular fascination on "Sufi Soul". Meantime, the unique quality of Munadjat’s voice, her power of expression, and her natural charisma have charmed audiences in the most eminent international concert halls, where sometimes people are so touched as to shed tears, as was recently the case in London. These recordings were made by Network in spring 1997 at the radio and television studio in Tashkent, the capital of the Central Asian state of Uzbekistan. The famous rubab player and professor at the Tashkent conservatoire Shavkat Mirzaev complemented his ensemble with additional outstanding local soloist so as to be able to present all his country’s countless instruments and styles. The lutes, string instruments and zithers played on this recording demand great concentration and skill in order to achieve the incredible glissando and vibrato effects. They are joined by flutes and percussion. The slow hypnotic build-up in the pieces ends in a dramatic climax during which the tremendous mastery of the singer and the ensemble highlight whole new facets of the melody." [label description]
