"Journey" is a captivating album by the renowned violinist L. Subramaniam, released on August 3, 2018, under the BIS label. This 58-minute masterpiece is a unique blend of classical, folk, and world music styles, showcasing Subramaniam's virtuosity and innovative spirit. The album features a collaboration with tuba player Øystein Baadsvik, along with Dhulipala Srirama Murthy on mridangam and Toms Mikāls on tabla, creating a rich tapestry of sounds that bridge Eastern and Western musical traditions.
The album opens with three untitled tracks, followed by "Journey," "Eclipse," and a tribute to the legendary Johann Sebastian Bach. Subramaniam's violin soars above the rhythmic foundation provided by the percussionists, while Baadsvik's tuba adds a surprising and delightful depth to the ensemble. The album was recorded at Olavshallen in Norway, capturing the exceptional acoustics of the venue and the musicians' live energy.
"Journey" is a testament to Subramaniam's ability to push musical boundaries and create a sound that is uniquely his own. Fans of classical, world, and fusion music will find much to enjoy in this engaging and dynamic album. The album is available on SACD, offering high-resolution audio for an immersive listening experience.
