THE GUARDIAN ABOUT GEORGES GURDJIEF
Tert.am

The Guardian has published a report about the Armenian born musician
and spiritual teacher, Georges Gurdjieff.
Gurdjieff is best known as a mystic and spiritual teacher, but he was
also a musician who composed by dictating to his pupil, the Russian
pianist Thomas de Hartmann, says the report.
According to the author Keith Jarrett helped revive international
interest in Gurdjieff's work with his Sacred Hymns album, in 1980,
though this set presents his music in a very different setting.
The Armenian born musician is thought to have drawn his inspiration
from the songs he heard on his travels through the Middle East and
Central Asia.
The paper further says the Ensemble directed by Armenian musician
Levon Eskenian has released a CD contained selected pieces relate
to folk songs or sacred songs that have their roots in Armenia, or
neighbouring regions, and that they are performed by leading Armenian
folk musicians.
