About

Kemal Belevi’s works for the guitar, either solo or in combination, as heard on this album, exude the color and allure of the eastern Mediterranean. Without alluding to any specific tunes, he evokes Cypriot folk music in Cypriana, while the linked Four Sketches show his variety in the work’s bracing modernity. Belevi is at heart a romantic and a melodist of touching beauty as can be heard in Catch 22 and in the subtle color study Clouds. The poignant Suite Chypre is heard in this special arrangement made for Silvia and Livio Grasso.

Reviews

“… This sibling duo, both skilful performers with a command of this music, paired with an understandable and creative contemporary composer, have produced a unique album that deserves to be heard.”

Jim McCutcheon – American Record Guide – January/February 2023

“… His [Belevi] music is imaginatively composed, charming, atmospheric, and marked by the colors and atmosphere of the Eastern Mediterranean, often inspired by Cypriot folk music. It is an undoubtedly beautiful and pleasing music that escapes banality because of the expressive and rhetorical way in which it is played by the two performers.” ****

Remy Franck – Pizzicato.lu – 2 August 2022
