Eleni Karaindrou, the renowned Greek composer, presents "Karaindrou: Tous des oiseaux," her eleventh album for ECM New Series, released in 2019. This captivating collection of 22 tracks, spanning 58 minutes, is a testament to Karaindrou's mastery of evoking deep, resonant feelings through her music. Recorded in Athens at Studio Sierra over two sessions in 2017 and 2018, the album is a profound exploration of themes drawn from the play "Tous des oiseaux" by Lebanese-Canadian writer Wajdi Mouawad. The music serves as an epic backdrop to the complex and poignant narrative of the Israel-Palestine conflict, offering a rich and immersive experience.
The album features a diverse range of compositions, each with its unique character and mood. From the haunting melodies of "The Wind of War" and "Lament" to the hopeful notes of "A New Beginning" and "The Waltz of Hope," Karaindrou's compositions are both evocative and deeply moving. The recurring themes and variations, such as those found in "Mitra’s Theme" and "Reconciliation Theme," add layers of depth and continuity to the listening experience.
"Karaindrou: Tous des oiseaux" is a compelling journey through the human experience, capturing moments of conflict, longing, and reconciliation. Whether you're a longtime fan of Eleni Karaindrou or new to her work, this album offers a rich and rewarding exploration of her artistic vision.
