Hristo Vitchev / Weber Iago: Heartmony
By Track review of "The Imperative Expression"With an air that's reminiscent of guitarist Pat Metheny and pianist Lyle Mays' simpatico, the eleven tracks include Vitchev's "The Farewell Suite," music inspired by reflections on his personal life. With touches of melancholic beauty and striking adventurism, the suite imparts an expansive and rural-like quality that is analogous to observing a picturesque landscape.
One of the suite's most memorable tracks is "The Imperative Expression," a meditative reflection that Vitchev states "as the idea that somehow life goes on and that we have to deal with and accept such changes." The track's persona comes to life in a quiet processionfirst with Iago's persistent chords, then by Vitchev's acoustic guitaras the two repeat and improvise over the melody. It is atmospheric, introspective, and the perfect prescription for a stressful day.
