Andreas Vollenweider - Treasures of the Archives – Passage to Promise 🎵Treasures of the Archives – Part 13: Memories of ✨“Passage to Promise“ | Montreux Jazz Festival 2011✨ "A special song with a special story, performed by Andreas Vollenweider & Friends and three friends from South Africa: Vuyo Tsuma, Vuzi Nlapo, and Loyso Mapamela. It was part of the anniversary concert at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2011 In 1992, the album Book of Roses was created. As usual, I used the early morning hours to let new music emerge. This has always been my preferred state for creative work, somewhere between dreaming and waking. Playing freely, a music suddenly appeared that strongly reminded me of South Africa. And with surprising clarity, I thought of the people there and the difficult times that they are going through. It was already becoming clear that the days of apartheid were numbered, but the regime was resisting its end with even greater brutality. The reports were shocking, and the hope was high that change would come soon. But there was also the fear that such a change might be accompanied by terrible bloodshed. While playing the harp, I reflected on what it might take to prevent this bloodshed. The Black population, who had built up an understandable anger over decades, would need to promise one another that they would - under all circumstances - strive for a non-violent transition. But it would have to be a special kind of promise—like the kind one makes to a child. Promises made to a child MUST be kept, no matter what. And so a song emerged, still without a title, but I knew that I wanted to invite the vocal group Ladysmith Mombasa to the studio for it. So I made a demo and wrote down my thoughts so that the group around Joseph Shabalala could create the lyrics. I put the demo cassette and the note with the song idea into an envelope that I planned to send with a courier to South Africa. But suddenly I realized that the music actually already should contain my thoughts, and that the note wasn’t needed. So I took it out again and sent only the music with a greeting. A few weeks later, we all met in the studio in Switzerland. It all naturally came together very fast. After just 2–3 takes, we were satisfied and listened to the music in the control room. The group was, of course, singing in the Zulu language. So I asked Joseph about the meaning of the words… I think you know what’s coming: the words reflected my thoughts—more accurate than my note could have ever been—and the name of the song was ‚Passage to Promise‘. Still any doubt that music is communication?“ – Andreas

Andreas Vollenweider - Treasures of the Archives – Stella 🎵Treasures of the Archives – Part 12: Memories of ✨"Stella" | Montreux Jazz Festival 2011✨ "Stella in Montreux 2011: An excerpt from our 30-year anniversary concert at the Montreux Jazz Festival 2011. My birthday present was this fantastic band, offering all the tonal colours and dynamic nuances that make up this music — a true cornucopia. In our musical concept, Stella is a typical foundation for many free moments of improvisation and interplay. As is so often the case in this music, we orient ourselves toward anchor points, only to immediately free ourselves from them again before meeting at the next anchor point, and so on. This requires highly nuanced internal communication, but only a small part of it happens through listening — that would be far too slow. The term quantum entanglement most accurately describes these processes: a deep connectedness is crucial, it is somewhat mysterious, because it operates beyond conscious thought." – Andreas Andreas Vollenweider: Harp Walter Keiser: Drums Andi Pupato: Percussion Steff la Cheffe: Beat Box Daniel Kuffer: Winds Sandro Friedrich: Ethnic winds (unfortunately, the camera has not been on him enough) Oliver Keller: Lap steel guitar Greg Galli: Keys and voice Daniel Pezzotti: Cello

Chariots of Fire stage production to go on UK tour featuring music by Vangelis Last November, Bill Kenwright Ltd announced that a new production of "Chariots of Fire", the stage adaptation by Mike Bartlett, will embark on its first UK national tour in autumn 2026, with Roxana Silbert directing the new production. Based on the true story of British athletes Eric Liddell and Harold Abrahams and inspired by the multi-Oscar and BAFTA award-winning film, "Chariots of Fire" brings to the stage a powerful account of conviction, ambition, and sacrifice set against the backdrop of the 1924 Paris Olympic Games. The production features the iconic music of Vangelis, drawing on themes from the original film score, alongside additional music composed by Vangelis specifically for the stage adaptation, first created for the original 2012 theatrical production. Currently, three venues are scheduled to present the production, with additional cities expected to be added.

Andreas Vollenweider - Treasures of the Archives – Pilgrim, Montreux Jazz Festival 2011 🎵Treasures of the Archives – Part 11: Memories of ✨“Pilgrim“ | 30 years anniversary concert Andreas Vollenweider & Friends at the Montreux Jazz Festival 2011✨ "Pilgrim, a very personal song. It was during the time when I was mourning my mother’s death. I sat at the guzheng, the Chinese harp, which she loved so much. As I was playing quietly to myself — perhaps trying to ease the ache for a moment, it seemed as though the music began to lift the weight of grief, that heavy cloak that had settled on my shoulders. I was still sad, yet I felt light and as if held in a gentle dialogue with my mother. Throughout her life, she was deeply inspired by Sufism and walked, with unwavering devotion, the Sufis path of love. And from this, the song Pilgrim emerged." – Andreas
