About this album

  • Updated: 11/03/2009

Soul Simplicity

 

In diesem Album wurden amerikanische und russische „Gospel Hymns“ in der Manier klassischer Improvisationskunst eingespielt. Die amerikanischen Hymnen wurden ins Russische (siehe russische Transkription der Titel  in eckigen Klammern) und einige auch ins Deutsche übersetzt. Während die christlichen Hymnen immer auf dem gepredigten Wort im Lied fußten, versucht dieses Album gänzlich ohne Worte des Heils auszukommen, vielmehr soll die Musik einen im Herzen rühren. Einzelne Liedstrophen wurden daher im Stile der Variation gestaltet und sind nicht für das Singen vorgesehen. Wenn es denn aber jemanden rührt, so dass er singen möchte, dann kann er es vom ganzen Herzen tun.

 „Soul Simplicity“ soll auf die innere Einfachheit der Seele eines Menschen hindeuten, so wie Jesus einstmals gelehrt hatte: „Wahrlich, ich sage euch, wenn ihr nicht umkehret und werdet wie die Kinder, so werdet ihr nicht in das Himmelreich kommen! (Mt 18,3).“ Es gilt also, „einfach“ reinhören und genießen.

Poor sinner, harden not thy heart;

Thou would’st be saved – why not tonight?

To bless thy long deluded sight;
This is the time! Oh, then be wise!
Thou would’st be saved – why not tonight?

Beautiful piano solos. Soothing and relaxing, well played, worshipful, meditative and with heart. The tunes bring simple peace to the soul. Nice flow from song to song. Well worth the listen.

Мягкая, добрая и нужная каждой душе мелодия, мелодия радости и любви! ... и самого красивого молчания...

Nice atmosphere and progression in the first track, soulful stuff. Interesting array of sources. We need something, that's for sure. The positivity remains in Sing Them Over Again To Me, which is the essence of what the artist asks of the listener. The third track, brings us nearer, as does every day we live. The fourth track, in title, both begs the question and provides the answer, I feel. Musically, there is a consistency becoming evident. Our Father... is a different version to the one I have known from childhood. Ty Znayesh', Bozhe, Moyo Zhelan'e picked me up a little, I was beginning to flag a touch. Anyway, this one adds a point, and is there not one to be made. Nice works imparted for your spirit, like it says, sit back and enjoy, there is nothing to be analysed.

I sat and listened this is man play his music on his piano, and the words that he played just spoke straight to my heart and soul, as the emotions just came flooding out from each and every wonderful, mesmersingly beautiful track he played. He made me think, he made me feel how blessed we are to have great talented people who can speak to us via their amazing gift of music, just as he did to me, via his piano and his compostions he played to me, us the listener.. I was moved to tears.. It was gentle, relaxing and very very graceful. but most of all touching..
