| “ | Based on an idea by outstanding guitarist Marc Sinan and author/director Marc Schiffer who has written the text, Fasil tells of the life of Aisha, the great love and youngest wife of the prophet Mohammed, in the course of a brilliant song cycle. The improvisations take as their inspirational starting point fragments of recitations from the Koran recorded by Marc Sinan in Turkey. Together with Julia Hülsmann's songs they form an Ottoman suite, a Fasil. Highlights in this transcultural project include exceptional performances by Sinan himself, and by Yelena Kuljiæ in the role of Aisha. The singer was recently described by the Frankfurter Rundschau as "the most thrilling new voice in the current jazz scene." | ” |
