Description:

Mystic Classics (2CD)This fascinating two-disc set focuses on the works of Hovhanneswho was born in the United States and initially composed European-style music, but later became strongly influenced by Indian and Japanese music, decisively abandoning his previous style to continue writing mystical piecesand brings together a variety of mystical music. Just looking at the title gives the impression that you might be transported to another world, and when you actually listen to it, the only word that comes to mind is wonderful. We feel both awe and longing for the unknownperhaps this is the essence of being human. We present music that feels as though you are enveloped in soft light.
