A folkloric ballet in seven parts, telling ancient stories of mythic dualism from the Balkans, the Middle East, and India. A blend of traditional, folkloric music and orchestral compositions.
Bio / Background
The Flame and the Shadow was conceived as a large-scale interplay between music and dance, which tells several stories, and utilizes many legends drawn from mythologies ranging from the Baltic and Slavic regions to the Balkans and Crete, from Turkey to Arabia, and from Persia to India. The common thread linking them is the concept of dualism and opposites (hence, the title of the work), and how these are both opposed and complementary. It is similar to the Taoist belief in Yin and Yang, except here expressed in European, Middle Eastern, and Indian mythological contexts.
It is a folkloric ballet. The central musical themes are expressed in full orchestral arrangements, and these themes reappear in different forms throughout the work as it progresses.
A 2-CD set, featuring amazing guest artists such as Ross Daly, members of Kitka, Shira Kammen, Bon Singer, and George Chittenden, this is a new concept in world music.

good for easy listeningvictoriakravets wrote on December 20, 2007
Ifrit is the best track in my opinion
Ifrit is beautifulmoonray wrote on February 22, 2008
Each track in this album is actually distinctive. If they share anything, it's a certain dramatic finality, like the finish to a grand saga. It's also got a kind of restlessness to it. Of these pieces of music, the track Ifrit is extremely pretty. There's also a beautiful choreography to this song by bellydancer, Blanca, produced by World Dance New York. It's the choreography that made me look for the song -- and I now love both equally.
