DESCRIPTION:
Experience the beauty and unity of diverse musical traditions with Sami Yusuf's latest release, 'One.' Recorded live at the Holland Festival in June 2022, this piece showcases exceptional artistry from Cappella Amsterdam, the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra, and Sami Yusuf's own ensemble.
Composed and arranged by Sami Yusuf, 'One' is a stunning blend of Western European vocal performance and the dynamic rhythms of Andalusian, North African and Middle Eastern instruments including the ney, violin, qanun, santur and percussions. The German words by Meister Eckhart and Arabic poetry by Abu al-Hasan al-Shushtari speak of the Eternal I and the unity of vision, emphasising the separate beauty of each path and their underlying unity.
Performed in E Flat with allusions to maqām Nahāwand, 'One' opens with Cappella Amsterdam's hauntingly beautiful vocals, transitioning to the richly textured and dynamic rhythms of Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra, culminating in a mesmerising santur and percussion performance by Sami Yusuf’s ensemble. 'One' invites you to experience the oneness of the human spirit in art.
