The initial movement unfolds within the intricate geometry of the Baroque style, a form that was imprinted on the composer's soul during his upbringing in London and that remains a cherished inspiration. From the start we hear the subtle meeting of musical paths in the Arabic baladi rhythm that underlies the graceful melody. The transition into the second movement transports the listeners to the heart of Sami Yusuf's other musical heritage, immersing them in the Central Asian Azerbaijani world. The third movement revisits the Baroque sound before incorporating the rich tonalities and nuanced rhythms of the Middle East and Persia, seamlessly blending them into a sweeping soundscape. The meditative sounds of the West African kora and the sensuous tones of the Chinese erhu then follow. The final movement acts as a love letter to the world classical traditions encapsulated here, skillfully weaving together the myriad emotions experienced throughout this journey in sound. ‘L’Amour Vivant’ is one of Sami Yusuf’s compositions from the second concert of his ‘When Paths Meet’ series. It features The Sami Yusuf Ensemble, The Scoring Orchestra of Paris, The Métaboles, and stellar soloists and specialist musicians in a stunning collaboration. ‘L’Amour Vivant’ is classical crossover at its most innovative. Performed at the Paris Philharmonic.
