Album Description
Keenly anticipated follow-up to the beguiling and commercially successful Chants, Hymns and Dances album. Chants, Hymns and Dances with its striking juxtaposition of music by G.I.Gurdjieff and Tsabropoulos landed on classical charts around the world - and was for a time a Top 10 disc at amazon.com. Melos again features Tsabropoulos and Gurdjieff compositions, but reverses the ratio, with more Tsabropoulos to be heard, in an arc of material that incorporates three clearly-etched Gurdjieff tunes. Each piece on Melos is melodically-direct but also offers perspectives for expressive playing. Anja Lechner's profile has grown over the last years, most notably thanks to her recent album and touring with Dino Saluzzi. Their collaboration Ojos Negros was a 5 Star Album of the Year 2007 in Down Beat. Melos has a genre-crossing appeal to lovers of classical, world and jazz.
Album Description
This title covers pieces by Tsabropoulos and mystic Russian composer G.I. Gurdjieff, this time with a third voice: Indian percussionist U.T. Gandhi, who has worked with Dino Saluzzi, Enrico Rava and Miroslav Vitous.

Having tried 'Gurdjieff, Tsabropoulos: Chants, Hymns and Dances' and loved it, I could not wait to get this one. As applies with any installment from a great work, my expectations were quite high.
Not that I am disappointed with Melos, I would just say to someone coming to this album from the same journey as mine, to be expect quality, but in a different form. Whereas 'Gurdjieff, Tsabropoulos: Chants, Hymns and Dances' sounded more classical, Melos is a tiny more jazzy, but there are some amazing pieces that would leave no one in doubt of the classical elements.
My personal favorites are 4,7,12,13 and 15. Just for those, I would readily pull out the debit card...
In all, I would give it 4.75 out of 5 if it was possible.
