After Journeys to Inaccessible Places (1985), and Sicroff Plays Gurdjieff (2002) Elan is now embarking on a project to record a 3rd CD. The new CD will include a number of his classical works along with the sacred music from the East in collaboration with Gurdjieff.

A number of soon-to-be favorites await, including No. 39 and Greek Melody from Asian Songs and Rhythms; The Resurrection of Christ, from Hymns, Prayers and Rituals; selections from The Struggle of the Magicians (from the ballet scenario which Gurdjieff worked on in the 1920’s); and various Chants and Dances of the Sayyids and Dervishes which he has not previously recorded.

In addition, Elan has recorded 3 very early works: Prelude, Nocturne, and Impromptu from the Six Pieces, Op. 7. Unlike other CD's with de Hartmann's music this CD will feature de Hartmann as classical composer as well as the more known 'Gurdjieff/ De Hartmann' collaborations.

The exact title and contents of the new CD will be determined after the recording and mastering has been completed.

Details :: The piano music of Gurdjieff and Thomas de Hartmann

Sicroff's Journey to Inaccessible Places has been out of print for years. Finally, he has a new recording of the music that lies at the core of G. I. Gurdjieff's Fourth Way. Twenty-two tracks of sacred hymns, dervishes, prayers, and other music by Gurdjieff and Thomas de Hartmann -- plus Greek Letters Prayer (composer unknown).

Sicroff's interpretation is fresh, deeply spiritual, and technically immaculate.

The recording is state of the art. Available on CD only: $15.95 + $3 s/h.
