LE MONDE SECRET DE GHEORGHE ZAMFIR
documents inédits
THE SECRET WORLD OF G. ZAMFIR
unpublished documents
Déesse, ?, DDLX 75
This album is a bit of a mistery; there is no date but I believe it might date from the year 1974-1975; but the real question is where do these unpublished documents come from ? there are no information about the tunes and no names of musicians. There is a photo inside the album where we see Ion Dragoï on fiddle, Toni Iordache on cymbalum, Ion Laceanu on fluier plus clarinet and double bass players, Gheorghe Zamfir standing in the foreground. This picture is also on the album recorded by Ion Dragoï (see my post) dated 1972. So I think that what is on the present album was recorded during the same session with the same musicians and published later.
G. Zamfir shares the tracks with his partners and plays solo on 1-b, 2-b and 2-d. Dumitru Farcaş on taragot is well present along with Dragoï; Ion Laceanu plays the cimpoi on 2-c. The highlight on this album is the over nine minutes solo by Zamfir which concludes it. Bocet is a traditional lament mostly performed by women when someone dies in a village. Here Zamfir is really crying with his panpipe showing his mastering of the instrument.
There is a text in French by the poet Bernard Dimey who followed Zamfir's career actively.
