The
philosopher and mystic G.
I. Gurdjieff, born in
Caucasus at the border
between Armenia and
Turkey, developed a
theory which is supposed
to mediate between the
esoteric knowledge of the
East and the scientific
thinking of the West. In
collaboration with the
Russian composer Thomas
de Hartmann, he created a
series of piano
compositions in which
melodies from Far Eastern
religions are included.
Now, some of these works
have been arranged for
two guitars for the first
time since this is
suggested by the
relationship of the
guitar to Asian plucked
instruments, such as the
lute or 'tar', for tonal
reasons. Thus, the
clarity and power of this
music is expressed in a
delicate and colourful
way.
