Kovac is a composer from the former Yugoslavia, whose music was previously brought to Western ears by the ReR label. This work, performed by his ever changing Ritual Nova Ensemble (soprano, violin, cello, piano, percussion, saxophone), is dedicated to the mystics Berdjiaev and Gurdjieff. "'Anamnesis' has a clearly chamber music set up, solemn atmospheres, minimalist innuendos, quasi-orchestral sonorities. Its evocative sonic landscapes, of a tormenting beauty, could be viewed as part of the ongoing spiritual renewal characteristic of many contemporary East-European composers such as Arvo Part and Henry Gorecki. Nevertheless, Kovac's music language is far more impure and contaminated. It reveals the composer's Serbian, Hungarian and Rumanian roots and discloses similarities with the darker side of RIO, as well as with the Third Ear Band, combined with the manifest influence of Bela Bartok and Balkan folk music." --Fabrizio Gilardino.
