The Story
The South African pianist Abdullah Ibrahim's Solo Concert, recorded in his new homeland of Bavaria.
The South African pianist Abdullah Ibrahim's Solo Concert, recorded in his new homeland of Bavaria.The resultant CD 'Dream Time' choreographs this subtly stirring recital as a timelessly beautiful self portrait of the artist.Calm, yet exuding a gripping power. In prelude, soft tones gently reveal the initial melodic content. Motifs emerge in echo, making way for a complete melodic statement refined through minute, unexpected details. The gathering stream flows directly into a single, liberating chord. A second melody follows suit, at once melancholic, morphing to bright lyricism, also settling on an open chord. Yet not an end, but a transition...Abdullah Ibrahim is a master of transition. Born October 9th, 1934 in Cape Town, South Africa-the iconic pianist soon celebrates 85 years on the planet. A pianist, whom at 85 continues to exhibit a long winded perseverance in performance. In the course of an hour's time, an uninterrupted flow of melody-tonal beauty of a strong spiritual nature.This music towers far above the mere sum of it's notes.
