Superb.......2007-06-20

I have owned this CD for some years and it is possibly my most favourite of favourites. Something has happened to one of the tracks so I am buying another copy. I can't bear to have it incomplete. This CD speaks to my soul with every piece. When you think you have heard the best of the CD the next just grabs your heart. The combination of Nigel Kennedy and the Kroke Band is absolutely superb. I can listen to them for hours on end. If you are a Nigel Kennedy fan this one is a must. No, a need.

Wonderful!.......2007-01-26

This record demands a number of listenings. I am not a huge classical violin fan (I admit I cannot even remember why I purchased this disk) and this CD sat on my shelf for years. Once in a while, I'd listen to Ajde Jano, which I liked quite a bit and that was it (BTW, not only is this disk a departure for Kennedy, but Atlas shines on this track in a way lacking in her solo work). But over time, I have come to have such a tremendous respect for this disk--once I listened to it enough to really get into the spirit of it. It is incredible!

(2) That said, this is not really a classical violin disk, per se. Kennedy complements Kroke, but does not impose himself at all--what great modesty and restraint for a player of Kennedy's renown! Bottom like, this is an awesome E. European folk disk accompanied by some of the most inspired and flawless violen playing that I have (in my admittedly limited experience) ever heard.

This is just a wonderful, fun and eclectic disk that has much to offer music lovers of a number of different persuasions. (I must admit that Ajde Jano is still my favorite track.)

Can't stop listening.......2004-02-04

I am a big lover of classical music and somehow I got my hands around this music. I can only agree a hundred percent with the other listeners that this music is crowling deep inside your soul, makes you want to smile, and to cry at the same time. You will not forget it! It is beautiful and relaxing in some parts, others simply take away your breath and you feel (finally) something about your own passion (again) with this music. Yes, you can imagine people dancing and you can feel the fire of love and dance, intertwined with an endless feeling of happiness.

I have been to Krakow and with this music in the back of my mind I am looking forward to going back again and to hopefully find folk bands which are similar to this astonishing master piece performed by Nigel Kennedy.

Enjoy!
Uwe

Eden for ears and dancing feet.......2003-08-18

East meet Easts is a 14 pieces filled album that is overwhelming about 65 minutes at all.
Eastern Folkmusic meets an incredible strings section and sometimes vocals that I like and that I don't (!!!!) like.
Kroke, the incredible Trio from Krakow, Poland is working together with Kennedy in the whole Eeast European music history and they give their chosen music a modern touch with sometimes jazzy influences I like and a really cool picked in e-violin. The album is almost very danceable and that is quite lovely. I like those tunes.
1.) Ajde Jano ... is the first track it has a really danceable lovely rhythm. I remember that tune cuz I heard it as opening track at Krokes solo tour this year in February in Germany. I absolutely don't know the vocals. I dunno why. I think after listening to it for even more times I will got to love it. I see small kids dancing at bloomy fields when I am listening to that tunes.
2.) Lullaby for Kamila ... is a melancholy tune. I really love it. I love all tragical melancholy sounds. They make me smile and the simple *mmmh mmmmmh* backup vocals are breathtaking for me.
3.) T 4.2 (hint:Tea for two) is just cool ... I heard it for the first time at the Berlin Museumsinsel Gig last year in Berlin. ... And well I was dancing on my chair ... ... (the rough mix of that piece is at "Ten pieces to save the world" without Kennedys e-violin ---> he goes crazy ... *yummy*)
4.) Eden ... is a track that is on "Ten Pieces to save the world" by Kroke as well without Kennedys e-violin and that was my favourite one of their album. It is a good way straight to Eden. That is honey for ears ( ... with feet ) FOLKY ROCK'N'ROLL, Yeah!)
5.) Dafino ... mmmmh ... that is "stolen" at one Slawish wedding party ... maybe ... ... It sounds really lovely ... I see the happy people taking each other by their hands ...
6.) Jovano Jovanke ... that is music for taking a trip on a long lonesome bad road with a even more bad car and someone in the back is telling you stories of the region where you are right now. It can be that you are on the road with horses as well but it is definitely a traditional Roadmovie soundtrack ... ... or it is the last song at one very long party ... you know when the sun is almost coming again in the morning. Everyone seems to be tired but none will stop. Just lovely. And when the sun is up. The band at the party will find new energy and kicks all their energy in the last tunes.
7.) Ederlezi ... that is originally by Goran Bregovic ... I love this interpretation ...
8.) Kasimierz ... He is Jewish and he is telling us a story ... it isn't a sad story ... it is one with happy end ... it is maybe a story about a love ... .. who cares. It is lovely.
9.) One voice ... someone is telling a sad story ... definitely ... it is without happy end. That was my first impression. That's it. I love Kennedys violinpart.
10.) Tribute to Maria Tanase ... was a Romanian singer ... she was known as East European Edith Piaf. I got some tunes of her at one Vinyl LP. She is incredible.
... well and she is dead and these tunes are for her. A better tribute cannot exist.
11.) Time 4 Time ... that is a joke with time ... and with rhythm and with folky tunes. I really love it.
12.) Vino ... means Wine ... so it is clear it can be just a drunken song ... ... it shows me how my brain looks like in delirium. ... everything isn't that clear I want to see.
13.) Lost in Time ... is just and simply wonderful.
14.) Kukush ... is my favourite track ... that is Hardcore Party. I love those tracks I love those music. I know such similar tracks from my trips I have done already to Romania. And I want to dance of course. It is my favourite, definitely before Eden!

Absolutely mesmerizing!.......2003-08-13

As someone who was born into an ethnically diverse family and spent the first part of her life in the former Yugoslavia, it was mesmerizing for me to listen to this CD. I have heard melodies like "Ajde Jano," "Dafino," "Jovano, Jovanke," and "Ederlezi," throughout my childhood and hearing them again brings back so much emotion and so many memories. This is wonderful music and I never tire of hearing it performed in new arrangements and by new performers. Enjoy!

Ignore the last reviewers comments...this is for EVERYONE........2007-01-09

I cannot believe someone would say that people who do not know the Balkans intimately do not deserve to understand this music.

This is some of THE most moving music I have ever heard, and as a musician I have heard a great variety.

Anyone with a heart and a soul will instantly love this music...the marriage of the many cultures it represents is magical. And the performances are top-notch.

Bregovic is truly an icon and has inspired me to study the history and the language of the Balkans. I am intensely enchanted.

only for those who KNOW Balkans.......2006-09-13

Ok. Here's the deal, if you're a person who has not been exposed to Balkan music before, does not even know what Balkans is, should most certainly not buy this cd. Not because you might not like it, but simply cannot appreciate the privilege to indulge in such beauty. I noticed some of the people complaining about this kind of music saying that they cannot simply understand where the beauty is...THAT'S JUST IT! You cannot and do not deserve to understand it! You have to know certain things about Balkan area and be somehow related to it to fully appreciate it's magic. For anyone that does not fill this criteria: No one expects you to like it so just save your money and time and spend it on something more "valuable".

Ederlezi.......2004-07-22

Having seen almost all of Emir Kusturica's films, I am an ardent admirer of the master's portrayals of Balkan vignettes, especially those dealing with the Roma (Time of the Gypsies, Black Cat, White Cat). The musical scores of Bregovic took on a life of their own for me, haunting compositions which evoke the sorcery and fire of the gypsies. So I was truly excited to have the Ederlezi album, which does indeed feature the ineffably intoxicating brass band rhythms and the almost painfully gorgeous strains of the Ederlezi song. However, the Ausencia song, the American Dreams items and other non-Roma or non-Serbian tracks do not fit in. I wait for them to go by or tune in to the Balkan portions. I love the Slavic-Roma Bregovic, but my Ukrainian soul does not warm as much to the rest.

Goran's best pieces.......2003-09-10

an interesting compilation of his film music.there are tracks from all of his albums straight to famous "Underground".
"Ederlezi" takes you on a journey through balkans ("Mesicina"),dark 15 century cities ("Ederlezi"),the meditareann culture ("Elo hi") and straight modern places ("Tv screen").Still the best tracks from here are these from "Arizona dream" - one his most complex and exciting works.
it is a great compilation of this artist - it ends just in hte time that he started to colaborate with many pop artists (Kayah,Kris krawczyk) which wansn't magical at all.

unexciting music.......2003-08-31

I got this along with Bregovic's Silence of the Balkans and Czas Cyganow. All three of them are uninteresting, and uninspiring to me, much less energizing as some reviewers mentioned. I was so influenced by reviewer enthusiasm, I unwisely bought all three simultaneously. Big mistake! No more Bregovic for me! How anyone can get much Balkans out of his music is baffling to me.

Bonito CD.......2007-04-09

I order the cd based in the two reviews I read in Amazon. I have to say my clients love it and I share their opinion.

Intoxicating!.......2007-03-22

When I first listened to this CD, it did very little for me. I was expecting something a bit less gentle/subtle.

But now -- about a year later -- it has become part of my nightly ritual. I start it up and let it carry me away from the day's stress and aggravations. It is really good for getting into that meditative place that feels so wonderful after a busy day.

Sometimes I will even wake up in the middle of the night and start it playing so that it fills the place with beautiful sound.

I will be looking for more compilations like this one and hope the collaborators responsible for this will be working on more recordings.

remasterpiece pure delight .......2004-11-19

I have listen to this fantastic album many times now and I have to say it is a wonderful cd to relax too. My favourite track is track 8 I would recomend this cd to anyone even if you dont normaly like classical music. I congratulate this duo and would love to see this remasterpiece performed live at the Royal Albert Hall...
