George Ivanovich Gurdjieff (c. 1866-1949) was a Greek-Armenian philosopher, composer, and mystic who led an international movement to awaken people to higher consciousness and humanity. His profound musical legacy is here brought to life by acclaimed Armenian pianist Hayk Melikyan. Born at the crossroads of cultures, Gurdjieff’s music weaves together Armenian, Greek, Kurdish, Persian, and Central Asian folk traditions, reflecting his lifelong quest for spiritual wisdom. Transcribed by Thomas de Hartmann (1885-1956), these evocative piano works blend Eastern mysticism and Western artistry, channelling ancient rituals, dances, and chants. Melikyan’s sensitive interpretations reconnect Gurdjieff’s music to its Armenian roots, transforming each piece into a living narrative. Laudamus bridges past and present, offering listeners a timeless journey through the world’s spiritual and musical heritage.
