CD Reviews

As good as the 1st Album
Ender Kuntsal | Santa Barbara, CA United States | 09/24/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"After about two years from their 1st CD "Dream of the Orient", Concerto Koln and Sarband released their 2nd. The content of the new CD is divided into five sections: "Dede the European/Mozart the Turk" (Ismail Dede Efendi: 1778-1846), "From Vienna to the Ottoman Empire", "Musical Contest Alla Turca", "Danubian Waves" and "Mysticism and Ecstasy". The program is well prepared and represent the European (mostly German) and Ottoman (mostly Sufi) music of the era. There are more Ottoman pieces in this CD: while only 7 out of 26 pieces were Ottoman in "The Dream of the Orient", the new CD has 15 of the 27. Please keep in mind that the drums and cymbals of Sarband are less pronounced in this CD; there is no "military" music as the CD title clearly suggests.



It is extremely pleasing to see that this CD, for a second time, brings the East and West a bit closer, at least in music.
