The piece “Echoes from Ugarit”, whose name bears the album, is the oldest music notation in the world that was discovered in the city of Ugarit, Ras Shamra - Syria, on cuneiform tablets dating back to the fourth century BC. Malik Jandali, the Syrian pianist, was the first musician in the world to deal with this notation, add rhythm and harmony to it, and play it on the piano accompanied by international orchestras. The album “Echoes from Ugarit” is the outcome of his attempts to mix oriental maqams in an academic manner with classical music. He recorded it in Moscow with the Russian Philharmonic Orchestra.
