about

ANAMNISI

I worked on this piece on my way to Greece, during stopovers in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania and Epirus, finishing it at our final destination Zacharo while staying with friends. The title came to me on the ferry from Patras to Venice we took on our way back home, while passing the beautiful mountainous shores of Albania. The Greek word anamnisi (ανάμνηση) means memory. It is not a particularly original title for a piece of music, but rather than some trite reminiscence it refers to the effects of a severe brain hemorrhage that my father Albert had suffered earlier that year. The stroke cut short the final stages of his scientific career and eradicated my parents’ retirement plans. My father lost not only his memory and speech, about half of which he would later regain, but also the ability to play his accordion (read more about his music here). This frustrated him to the extent that he enjoyed listening to music less and less. The recordings for this album were the first he enjoyed without reservation.
