Henry Wolff & Nancy Hennings - Tibetan Bells (Antilles, 1973)

Musique hautement méditative s'il en est! Ce grand classique et pionnier du genre échappe aux pièges et aux clichés pour nous proposer une authentique expérience d'écoute. Ni touristique ni à la mode, ces pièces sont d'une grande profondeur, et les musiciens apportent à ces instruments une dimension expérimentale bien loin des facilités new age!

Back in 1972, Henry Wolff and Nancy Hennings made a landmark recording. They released the first album of Tibetan singing bowls and Tibetan bells. They, in effect, introduced the meditative and healing powers of these instruments to the rest of the Western world. In 1972, Tibetan Bells would have been considered highly experimental and avant-garde — perhaps even revolutionary (in a musical sense, anyway). This album remained a cult classic for many years. These instruments did not gain immediate recognition in the new age or e-music communities. Artists like Jonathan Goldman, Klaus Wiese, Deuter, and Xumantra have used them extensively in the 1990s and 2000s.
