Description
The concept album iArvo Parti by Gramola is based on the motif of the mirror. Following up on Daniel Barenboimis saying iMusic comes from silence and ends with iti, there is a prologue and epilogue for piano solo (iFor Alinai / iVariations for the Healing of Arinuschkai), which in minimalist form and Partis own tintinnabuli style provides the framework for this almost spiritual journey. Embedded in it, the instruments violin, viola and violoncello, each in combination with piano, play three times first iSpiegel im Spiegeli (Mirror in the mirror) n moving down the musical scale, and then in reverse order of the instruments iFratresi (Latin for Brothers). The meditative character of these works as well as the special timbres of the instruments are presented inimitably by the musicians Ketevan Sepashvili, piano, Veriko Tchumburidze, violin, Gertrude Rossbacher, viola, and Sandro Sidamonidze, cello.
