Magdi Aboul-Kheir seems to write from the piano’s own perspective, as if the instrument one day found its voice and decided to stay silent no longer.
The new piano album “The Piano Has Been Dreaming” by Magdi Aboul-Kheir absolutely must be in the collection of all lovers of classical music. The release sounds dreamy, almost quiet, as if the grand piano had been dozing somewhere in the corner of a concert hall while the eras were changing outside the window and images were quietly accumulating inside it.

Dreamy, Boundless, Alive

-PurpleMistress

Across 8 tracks, arching counterpoints unfold alongside romantic modulations and an unexpected rhythmic pulse from an entirely different universe.
This is very much in keeping with the artist. This is very much in keeping with the artist. Aboul-Kheir is a rare kind of musician for whom genre boundaries simply do not exist.
