backgroundmagazine.nl : Dharmawan – Anagnorisis
The Indonesian keyboard player Dwiki Dharmawan released in 2015 So Far So Close (see review). At the time I wrote that this is an album which proves most of all that fusion, jazz rock and progressive rock from the 70s and 80s is still very much alive! On this album you can hear a fine melting pot of all those styles. By all means, So Far, So Close is a very engaging and essential album for those who like the above mentioned musical styles. Highly recommended to those who love the music of Patrick Moraz, David Sancious, Al Di Meola, Return To Forever and Mahavishnu Orchestra. Ten years later he released Anagnorisis. The title is a Greek term meaning "recognition" or "discovery".
Dharmawan, Dwiki: Anagnorisis
Indonesian Pianist/Composer Dwiki Dharmawan has released an album featuring both varied instrumentation and music. There’s a lot of improvisation within the songs, but a firm base for which the band can return, reconnect, and venture forth. Clarinet, Sax, or Flute often takes the lead as Dharmawan’s piano creates the foundation in what might be described as progressive world music. The guitar work of Vironas Ntolas steps out on “Pacu Javi” and I love the texture created by the upright bass as Dharmawan rips on the piano. A track like “Perjuangan” is an experimental soundscape, focused on creating a mood or atmosphere for the instruments to explore.

Jest takie zdanie, które wraca w rozmowach o muzyce częściej, niż mogłoby się wydawać: muzycy bywają najlepszymi ambasadorami. Kompozytor i dyrygent Serge Koussevitzky miał to ujmować wprost, a nowa płyta Dwiki Dharmawana działa jak praktyczny dowód, że ta myśl wcale się nie zestarzała. „Anagnorisis” powstało na styku kultur i środowisk, ale nie pachnie konferencyjnym „projektem ..
