An acclaimed composer for film and television, Mr. Rosenthal has spent decades studying the teaching of G. I. Gurdjieff as well as the Gurdjieff-de Hartmann music.
Listeners to the 75 tracks on this 3-CD set will hear pieces representative of the complete spectrum of the Gurdjieff-de Hartmann music. From prayers to dances, from the familiar to the rare, each piece is played with exceptional sensitivity and expertise and recorded to the highest standards.
“What can we consider to be the purpose of Gurdjieff’s music?
Perhaps it is related to man’s work on himself, what Gurdjieff called “harmonious development.”
He offered food for the growth of a man’s being through the different sides of his nature:
ideas for the mind, special exercises and dances for the body and mind together, and music as a way to awaken a sensitivity
in the feelings, to arouse in the deeper level of the listener’s interior world questions and intimations beyond words.
And perhaps, in dissolving the barriers created by associations and conditioning,
these sounds could bring the listener into closer contact with his own essential nature.”
Laurence Rosenthal, Gurdjieff International Review
