When Paths Meet is an exploration. It is a celebration. The traditional instruments heard here come from lands stretching from China to Spain. The lyrics come from mystical writings from 12th century Germany and Moorish Spain to 16th century Azerbaijan, to 21st century US and UK. When Paths Meet brings together Sami Yusuf and his ensemble, Cappella Amsterdam, and the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra. The voice of each group is distinct; each articulates its own ethos and emanates the artistic fragrance of its own world. In Sami Yusuf’s compositions, their unique voices rise and fall, giving way to one another, until an understanding at the deepest level is reached. Beauty and the love that pervades it is indivisible, however varied and intricate their expressions. To realize that is to arrive at the place of meeting. Performed by Cappella Amsterdam, The Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra, and Sami Yusuf’s ensemble. - Veritas (00:47) - Karitas (12:28) - Pearl (28:31) - Hijaz Kabeer - Andalus (32:53) - Fiyyashiyya (42:11) - The Fire Within (47:56) - I Only Knew Love (01:02:41) - The Meeting (01:06:08) - One (01:12:38) CREDITS: Sami Yusuf & Ensemble: Sami Yusuf: Vocal Ömer Avci: Bendir Eyüpcan Açikpazu: Ney Hasan Hekimoglu: Oud Onur Cicin: Qanun Guo Gan: Erhu Seyyed Mohammad Jaberi: Daf Huseyin Can Pala: Baglama Mahyar Toreihi: Santoor Jon Lawton: Guitar Cappella Amsterdam: Soprano: Sanda Audere, Elisabeth Blom, Marijke van der Harst Alto: Hebe de Champeaux, Irene Sorozabal, Inga Schneider Tenor: Jon Etxabe Arzuaga, Jelle Leistra, Diederik Rooker Bass: Jan Douwes, Angus van Grevenbroek, Johan Vermeer Production: Francesca Thompson Follow Cappella Amsterdam: Spotify: Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra: Abderrahim Semlali: Violin Jaafar Lougmani: Violin Mohamed Al Mokhlis: Violin Hessel Moeselaar: Viola Hannelore de Vuyst: Violin Haytham Safia: Oud Marianne Noordink: Ney Ruven Ruppik: Percussion Khaili Ahmed: Percussion Salah Mesbah: Vocals Dwight Breinburg: Percussion,Vocals Mohamed Chairi: Rabab,Vocals Daniël van Huffelen: Double Bass Ahmed el Maai: Qanun, Oud, Vocals Follow Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra on: Spotify: Mixed and Mastered by Vishnu Rajan @ Andante Studios Video Editing & Postproduction by Omar Al-Balushi @ Andante Studios Director: Henk van Engen Assistant Director: Lieke van Zutphen Producer Holland Festival: Rianne Super Technical Producer: The Crew: Daan Kluin, Kaj de Groot, Shading: Niels Hakkel, Ray van Verseveld Technical Facilities: The Crew The Netherlands 1st Camera: Job Scholtze Camera: Ivo Borkus, Feline Potshuizen, Kees Patijn, Lars de Jong, Frits Schrijvers Crane cam: Marjolein Hooting Junior Cam: Lex Brouwer Assistant Coordinator: Monica Hoogendoorn Graphic Design & Artwork: Hasan Kuchkarov Produced by ASTIANA Learn more: Published by Andante Records & Administered by Fairwood Music (UK) Ltd for the World ©℗ 2024 Andante Records.
