Product Description Provenance is the latest release from Maya Beiser, hailed by The New Yorker as a 'cello goddess' and by the San Francisco Chronicle as 'the queen of post-minimalist cello.' The title means 'origins,' referring to both Maya's personal history and the intertwining cultural traditions that course through this stunning disc. On some selections, the rich-hued sound of Maya's cello is heard on its own; on others, she's accompanied by Lebanese-American master musicians Jamey Haddad (percussion) and Bassam Saba (oud), with percussionist Shane Shanahan. The culminating track is a dazzling arrangement of Led Zeppelin's Kashmir for multi-tracked cello and drumkit, featuring studio legend Jerry Marotta . Similar CDsSimilarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsSimply amazing!!! noname | 05/31/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is the most original heartfelt music I have heard in years. I heard the interview with Maya Beiser on NPR sunday morning and thought to myself: interesting story but when the music started pouring in I was transformed. Bought the MP3 download for the car ride and intend to buy the CD for my parents. (Though I wonder what they will think of Led Zep Kashmir? :) I dont want to analyze the music as every word I add is unnecessary. listen to it and you will understand. Highly recommended Chris G." Sublime Tension Niklas P. Andersson | Santa Cruz, CA | 06/23/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "I'm a big fan of Jordi Savall's music and projects and have also been dipping into Persian and Middle Eastern artists with hit or miss luck. Heard Provenance featured on NPR and the sound I heard is just what I've longed for, imagined even. This recording delivers soulful and intelligent conversations between East and West. It is mostly contemplative in nature; that is, good for introspection and quieter moments, not that there isn't moments of tension in the music. The Last track, however is a rocker, a violin rocker. Maya Beiser proves that the tension from the Led Zepplin classic can be successfully transmitted via violins and Middle Eastern instruments.
An unexpected delight that has but Maya Beiser on my radar. This promising artist needs to be supported. Buy this. There will be no regrets." |
