Description:Brahems musikalisches Verständnis mit Holland â?? erstmals auf dem Album Thimar von 1998 festgehalten â?? ist inzwischen legendär. â??Daves Spiel verleiht mir Flügelâ??, sagte Anouar â?? eine Beobachtung, die sich auf dem Album wiederholt bestätigt. Django Batesâ?? Klavier, durchweg eine wichtige begleitende Kraft, steuert wirbelnde Soli bei. Das Album markiert das erste Mal, dass Anouar ein Violoncello in eine Formation einbaut. Anja Lechner, die eine stimmführende Rolle in der Aufnahme einnimmt, ist seit langem mit Brahems Kompositionen vertraut und hat sie u.a. in ihr eigenes Konzertrepertoire aufgenommen. Ihr Cello hat hier das erste und letzte Wort. After the Last Sky wurde im Mai 2024 im Auditorio Stelio Molo RSI in Lugano aufgenommen und von Manfred Eicher produziert. Das Album erscheint pünktlich zur Europatournee des Quartetts mit Konzerten in Frankreich, Deutschland, den Niederlanden, der Schweiz und Belgien. -
Eight years after Blue Maqams, Anouar Brahem returns with a poignant project, titled after a line of verse by poet Mahmoud Darwish, which asks "Where should the birds fly, after the last sky?" Graceful chamber pieces for oud, cello, piano and bass subtly address the metaphysical question and it's broad resonances in a troubled time. While drawing upon the traditional modes of Arab music, Brahem has consistently sought to engage with the wider world, too, and found inspiration in many sources from different cultures. Bassist Dave Holland and pianist Django Bates are again part of the Tunisian oud master's international quartet, joined now by cellist Anja Lechner.
