Digital Booklet
|
"The music is gentle and, as one might expect, lyrical. Sinopoulos draws from (his lyra) a truly timeless sound, slightly dusty and almost creaky with age perhaps. There are occasional funkier moments, but the general consistency of mood throughout further enhances the gentle reflective quality of the music. It’s a stress-calmer, a meditative aid, a rose-petalled bath in sound. Yearningly beautiful."

Greek musician Sokratis Sinopoulos has played a key role in the revival of interest in the lyra in his homeland, both in traditional music contexts and in the shaping of new music. His reflective compositions and yearning ballads on Eight Winds cede the central melodic role to the lyra, sensitively supported by the piano of Yann Keerim and the subtle bass and drums of Dimitris Tsekouras and Dimitris Emmanuel. The first album from this quartet and Sokratis’s leader debut for ECM, Eight Winds was produced by Grammy winner Manfred Eicher in Athens in April 2014.
