RUDIGER GLEISBERG
Damiana

(p) (c) 1997 BSC Music
10tks/49mins

Clear, as transparent as crystal, this music is enriched with the Renaissance spirit. It enthralls you with the very first chords carrying you back to somewhere in the past. And now you see men with their whimsical taper shoes on and then women wearing high pointed bonnets and long, lacy dresses reaching beneath their feet. You find yourself in some ancient township where narrow and untidy streets are crowded and full of hue-and-cry, and you hear an uncertain noise of a far-away market place. A cumbersome lumbering carriage has rumbled along the road. A fair lady might be rushing in it to meet her secret sweetheart. A maidservant is emptying a slop-pail clashing it right against the rough cobblestone pavement. Right here a couple of knights on horseback are unhurriedly passing by. Their armour is glittering in a purple glow of sunset. A grey-haired old man with a heavy folio under his arm is hurrying up to an intellectual public debate. And in all this bustle there is harmony and expectations that very soon this chaotic world will change for the better and the blossoming human mind will yield ripe fruit.... Very soon everything will change. All at once people realize that they are in love, that they are loved in return and there are no reasons to feel unhappy. There is no need to fight and to prove that you are right by dominating and destroying others in severe battles. Soon everything will be different...

One can feel Love in this music. It gets through classical harmonies and refined electronic passages of Rudiger Gleisberg. He splashes out his love abundantly, giving it out selflessly. He never cares for the image he has among his audience. He is just there and with you. This immediate and invisible contact makes you feel relieved and happy. This heartiness, this tenderness of feeling, this sense of inspiration, this romanticism forgotten as not wanted … What a great lot, what emotional depth! This music possesses unique features: it elevates Spirit, it nourishes you, it makes you feel stronger.

It is not by chance a Rudiger Gleisberg album is called " Damiana" . This shrub growing in Mexico and South America is well-known not merely for its yellow and orange blossoms and an attractive aroma. The Damiana is a plant of love. When used as tea or a tobacco substitute it whips up emotions and stimulates brains.

Music of " Damiana" reflects Gleisberg's love for everything which is around.

And everywhere you glance you will feel God
And everywhere around you feel the aroma of Love
Happiness to live
Happiness to love
Cannot be denied
Cannot be lost
This is what has always existed
For God is Love...
Such uncommon music... It is composed to do you good.
