Looking For New Horizons - Book I (2025)

Let op: een eerder album van dit ensemble, "Chants Du Sud Et Du Nord" is onder klassiek gerubriceerd. "Looking For New Horizons" valt toch echt beter onder trad. volksmuziek te scharen. "Hirundu Maris is a pan-European ensemble led by Spanish soprano vocalist/harpist Arianna Savall, Norwegian tenor/multi-instrumentalist Petter Udland Johansen, and Turkish kemençe virtuoso Derya Türkan. The ensemble connects the music of medieval Europe and the Ottoman East. Nonetheless, the artists weave this historical repertoire with contemporary arrangements, drawing from a wide geographic and cultural span, from Norwegian fjords in Northern Europe to eastern and western Mediterranean shores. The album explores sacred and secular music traditions beautifully, offering a curated journey through ballads, laments, courtly love songs, and Ottoman instrumental forms. Masterfully interwoven are instrumental works performed with period instruments including harp, lyre, oud, vielle, and hardanger fiddle." (World Music Central)
