Music Review: Flute Duet: Spiritual Synergy
Rating: 4 Stars
Having heard Kudsi Erguner in his 1992 French album "La danse cosmique des derviches tourneurs," in which he performed as part of an ensemble, I am pleased to have found his duet of neys with his brother Süleyman. Recently, I listened to a ney duet in Persian music; the instruments are clasped differently in the mouth and the timbre is crisper. Here, in the Turkish Mevlevi lip style, the sound is breathy, full of air. It haunts and penetrates. A frame drum is the only other instrument. The slow dance takes its time in capturing the listener but when achieved, the sound and rhythm enters the marrow. There is something special about a duet of flutes, whether two Hindustani bansuris or shenhais or, here, neys. Sometimes acting in harmony or as a supporting drone or providing emphasis, the second instrument helps create a larger effect. This album is unique, and even if you have other Dervich albums, where the ney dominates, these improvisations on established modes, taken from both Arabic maqams and Persian dastghah, are worth your attention. The third track, Zikr (dhikr in transliterated Arabic), is particularly powerful. My caveat is that the listerner may tire of the sound toward the end of the 67-minute album.
