I've bought two albums of Gurdjieff's music from Amazon: Music for the Movements (played by Wim van Dullemen) and this one. Which you prefer will likely depend upon how you like these minimal yet melodic compositions performed. My own preference is for a quiet, contemplative approach and for this reason I prefer Music for the Movements. Cecil Lytle, the pianist here, is obviously skilled and plays with feeling, but seems, to my (no doubt philistine) ears overfond of pounding the keys. On the other hand, perhaps this was the approach intended by the composers. Either way, if you don't mind such an aggressive attack you might wish to give it a try, otherwise I would recommend Music for the Movements as it's generally a lot more mellow. ~Amazon
