Inspired by the mystical love poetry of Jalal al-Din Rumi, this album combines classical & world music to evoke the joy, pain & ecstasy of love. The music reflects Rumi's message that love crosses every cultural, religious and musical boundary

'Ecstasy' is a suite of nine pieces. Inspired by the mystical love poetry of Jalal al-Din Rumi, the music combines classical and world music to evoke the joy, pain and ecstasy of love. The music reflects Rumi's message that love crosses every cultural, religious and musical boundary to unite us all in the Beloved.

'Ecstasy' was composed over a period of eight days to celebrate the 800th birthday of Jalal al -Din Rumi. Performed by world music ensemble Bravura (Miranda Adams, Jonathan Besser, Nigel Gavin, Tatiana Lanchtchikova, Peter Scott, and Yair Katz) with great feeling and invention, this is a unique sounding and passionately engaging album.
