I'd like this review to be read, so I'll make it short. Kiya Tabassian is a genius and within a few more years -- by the time he's in his thirties, that is -- everyone will know it. He takes his ensemble, Constantinople, so far above the usual Mediterranean-meets-Central Asia mish-mash that almost every other group doing it sounds like a hootenanny in comparison. This and my other favorite Constantinople disc, "Carrefour de la Mediterranee," are astonishing, soul-stirring feats of artistry. The guest artists are some of the world's most distinguished vocalists and instrumentalists -- that they have all been brought together to make these two discs will simply take your breath away. These are discs that will change your listening life. --- Tennessee Reader, amazon.com
