Alan Hovhaness - Lady Of Light Avak The Healer

Review by Pavel Kosenko

The album Lady Of Light Avak The Healer by Alan Hovhaness is a unique and mesmerizing musical experience. The third-person review of the album would highlight the enchanting and mystical quality of the music.

The opening track, "Lady of Light," sets the tone for the album with its ethereal and otherworldly soundscapes. The use of exotic instruments like the Chinese gong and the Japanese koto adds to the mystical ambiance of the music. The album's title track, "Avak the Healer," is a hauntingly beautiful piece that features a solo cello accompanied by a choir of voices. The track "The Mystic Flute" is another standout piece that showcases Hovhaness's mastery of creating atmospheric and dreamlike soundscapes.

The album's overall sound is reminiscent of traditional Eastern music, with its use of pentatonic scales and modal melodies. However, Hovhaness's unique approach to composition and his use of modern instrumentation gives the music a contemporary feel. The album's production is excellent, with each instrument and voice clearly defined in the mix.

Alan Hovhaness's use of exotic instruments and his masterful composition skills create an otherworldly listening experience that is both calming and captivating. The album is a must-listen for fans of world music and anyone looking for a musical journey into the unknown.
