SONGS OF THE SOUL

Music clips are in Quicktime (free download here).

Mountain Silence is a female vocal and instrumental ensemble from Switzerland, Germany, and Austria, who sing Sri Chinmoy's songs with the accompaniment of violin, cello, harmonium and guitar. They offer their prayerful performances in churches, monasteries and cathedrals throughout Europe. Here is the song Mayer Kripai from their album Tomare Rakhibo:

Silence and Sound, Kushali Tarantsova is a violinist who has studied in Donetsk, Ukraine for 11 years, followed by 5 years in the Prokofiev Conservatory of Donetsk and has played in the Ashkhabad Theatre Symphony Orchestra. The other half of Silence and Sound is Rageshri Muzychenko is a pianist from Kiev, Ukraine, where she has studied piano in the Kiev Music School. Here is an excerpt from a live performance performed in the Spring of 2007 in New York together with the talented singer Duradarshinee Lee:

Adarsha Kelly, a singer from Glasgov, Scotland, developed his devotional singing style by immersing himself in Sri Chinmoy´s music during the last 35 years. He is currently an arts administrator on Sport and Culture in Glasgow. Here is Adarsha’s CD Songs of Self-Offering:

Sangit Desh is a truly international world music group. Jigyasu, the band leader, is from Finland and is a contemporay keyboard player. Andrés Ramon, from Colombia, has a degree in composition and piano from the Iceland Academy of the Arts in Reykjavik. The main vocalist, A. Martanda Sekse, comes from Norway and has performed professionally in various productions.

The ensemble Celestial Harmonies combines 2 unique artists. Martin Prettenhofer from Austria is a well known concert pianist, who studied concert piano and composition at the Music University in Graz, Austria, and he was awarded with many prices for his piano playing. Mandu Trummer plays the chinese Erhu, an exotic charming instrument, which sound resembles the singing voice of a woman or a child. Both qualities, soulful melodies and sophisticated piano parts are melting together in this unique ensemble and have created an own genre in the modern spiritual music interpretation.

Here is a live performance with Mandu Trummer playing together with his wife Visuddhi on the harp.  It was recorded in New York on October 18th 2007 at a memorial function in honour of Sri Chinmoy

This is Martin Prettenhoffer playing Homage a Rameau by C. Debussy at a Classical concert in New York in August 2007:
