"Ethiopiques 21" on CD presents a deeply moving selection of solo piano works by Ethiopian nun and composer Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou (often listed as Tsegue, Emahoy / Guebrou, Maryam). Her music blends elements often reminiscent of European classical tradition, blues-tinged harmonies and distinctively Ethiopian melodic turns into an intimate, contemplative style that feels both timeless and intensely personal. Sparse, singing right-hand lines float over gently shifting left-hand accompaniment, creating a meditative atmosphere that invites close listening rather than background play. The recording captures the warm, direct sound of the piano, allowing every nuance of touch, pedal and phrasing to come through and highlighting the spiritual, almost prayer-like character of these miniature tone poems. This CD will appeal to listeners interested in piano music beyond the Western canon, as well as those who appreciate lyrical, introspective works with a strong emotional core.
Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou is a unique figure in 20th-century music: an Ethiopian Orthodox nun and self-taught composer-pianist whose life story is as remarkable as her art. Known for her austere lifestyle and profound spirituality, she composed quietly and without commercial ambition, yet her pieces have resonated far beyond Ethiopia since they were made more widely accessible through reissues. Her work within the "Ethiopiques" series has earned her international recognition as one of Ethiopia's most distinctive musical voices, with her piano pieces often cited by critics and enthusiasts as high points of the entire collection.
The CD is part of the renowned "Ethiopiques" series released by Buda Musique, a label highly respected for its carefully curated reissues and presentations of Ethiopian and other "world" musics. Buda Musique is known for its archival depth, thoughtful liner notes and respect for the historical and cultural context of the recordings it publishes. By focusing on high-quality remastering, detailed documentation and artist-centred presentations, the label has become a key reference for listeners seeking authentic, historically informed releases. With "Ethiopiques 21", Buda Musique continues its mission of preserving and showcasing important but previously hard-to-find musical legacies, providing a beautifully produced CD that does justice to Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou's singular art. | | | No. of tracks: |
