Post-war music history was written in Germany with the MPS label: fine music productions with many international greats came from the Black Forest. The HGBSBlue label continues this tradition with new and archive recordings on high-quality vinyl. What are these sounds? They are idiosyncratic, almost addictive. They are stirring, wistful and don't fit into any of the usual categories: Georgian polyphony mixed with minimal music, a dash of jazz and sparkling electro-pop. This music knows no borders. It's all about Russudan Meipariani, a pianist, composer and singer from Tbilisi who has been living in Stuttgart for about 20 years. Together with her sister Natalie and brother-in-law Giga, they form the Russudan Meipariani Ensemble and play beyond the usual musical boundaries. This is reflected in the title of their new project: Beyond The Boarders. Coming from a family of musicians, composer Russudan Meipariani is naturally drawn to the polyphony of her native Georgia. The new album by the Russudan Meipariani Ensemble is a musical reflection on origins and homeland, music of longing and memory. The trio brings worlds together and creates a unique sound space at the interface of classical music, jazz, Georgian polyphony, post-minimalism and improvisation. The music is full of sentimentality and expansiveness, then again stirring or wistful. Many unusual facets emerge, but never boredom.Their music is full of narrative power and evocative poetry. You don't want to stop listening to it, writes Julia Neupert, editor for jazz and new music at SWR in Stuttgart, who wrote the liner notes for this LP. An extraordinary listening experience!
