Tania Giannouli is a musician with a mission. Her new album, In Fading Light, acknowledges the profound changes that have happened to our world in the past year, and seeks to celebrate the human need for music and art, declaring it so much more than a luxury, and vital to our well-being – physical, spiritual, and emotional. In Fading Light, is an expression of love, hope and compassion, a plea for understanding, kindness, and the need to respect and embrace our common connectedness. Featuring Tania herself on piano, Andreas Polyzogopoulos on trumpet, and oud maestro Kyriakos Tapakis, it is a gorgeous collection of sensitive and thoughtful pieces, tied together with highly communicative texture and arrangement. It’s the featured album on this week’s Vespertine.
