Our Take

Steffen Schleiermacher's latest album, "Komitas/Bartok: Folk Tunes," is a delightful fusion of two musical worlds that will make you want to grab your nearest folk instrument and dance like nobody's watching. The renowned pianist effortlessly brings together the Armenian melodies of Komitas and the Hungarian rhythms of Bartok in a masterful display of musical dexterity.

From the opening track, "Aravotun Nver," Schleiermacher sets the tone with his intricate and passionate piano playing, weaving together the rich tapestries of both folk traditions with a deftness that is truly awe-inspiring. Each note feels like a love letter to the cultures and histories that birthed these timeless tunes.

Tracks like "Bagpipes" and "Romanian Dance" showcase Schleiermacher's impeccable technique and his deep understanding of the nuances of folk music. The way he melds the haunting melodies of Komitas with the frenetic energy of Bartok is nothing short of genius.

"Komitas/Bartok: Folk Tunes" is not just an album, it's an experience. It's a journey through time and space, a celebration of the universal language of music. So grab a glass of your favourite tipple, sit back, and let Steffen Schleiermacher take you on a musical adventure that will leave you breathless and wanting more. Trust me, you won't regret it.
