G. I. Gurdjieff / Thomas de Hartmann

The music of Gurdjieff / de Hartmann is a unique and captivating blend of spiritual depth and musical innovation, born from the extraordinary collaboration between the Greek-Armenian spiritual teacher G.I. Gurdjieff and the Russian composer Thomas de Hartmann. From 1923 to 1929, de Hartmann worked closely with Gurdjieff at his Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man outside Paris, translating Gurdjieff's mystical and philosophical ideas into a rich tapestry of compositions. This partnership resulted in a body of work that transcends conventional genres, offering a profound and meditative listening experience. The recordings available are particularly special, as they feature de Hartmann himself at the piano, bringing an authentic and intimate touch to the music. Their collaborative album is not just a collection of songs but a journey into the sacred and the spiritual, making it a must-have for anyone seeking a deeper connection through music.
