Her compositions and unique playing style live somewhere between Erik Satie, Debussy, liturgical music of the Coptic Ethiopian Church, and Ethiopian traditional music. It is some of the most moving piano music you will ever hear.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is the first archival release of the great composer’s recordings since the Éthiopiques series reintroduced her music to the world in 2006. Drawn from original master tapes and a nearly impossible-to-find vinyl release, Jerusalem unveils profound new facets of Emahoy Gebru’s performance and compositions.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe record picks up where the last two Mississippi releases left off, with tracks from her 1972 album Hymn of Jerusalem, of which only a handful of copies are known to exist. These include “\u003cem\u003eHome of Beethoven\u003c\/em\u003e,” “\u003cem\u003eAurora\u003c\/em\u003e,” and a true masterpiece that stands amongst her greatest compositions, the moving “\u003cem\u003eJerusalem\u003c\/em\u003e.” “\u003cem\u003eQuand La Mer Furieuse\u003c\/em\u003e” is the first release featuring Emahoy’s singing voice, forshadowing a vocal album planned for 2023. The B-Side brings us the artist’s home recordings - tracks like “\u003cem\u003eFarewell Eve\u003c\/em\u003e,” “\u003cem\u003eWoigaye Don’t Cry Anymore\u003c\/em\u003e,” and “\u003cem\u003eFamine Disaster 1974\u003c\/em\u003e” mark a bridge from liturgical work to dark and intense classical material, a new mode.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis album is released in celebration of Emahoy Gebru’s 99th birthday on December 12, 2022.
