Two Steps From Heaven
"Two Steps from Heaven” is lovely, soothing and peaceful album that delivers a true musical experience , as Origen brings Classical music into the 21st Century New Age era. The album covers the sound Origen has been doing since the start of his career in 1995. It has a very dramatic flair, and a sense of momentum and power, while at the same time exuding a gentle, soothing and ethereal nature. It is the very essence of what he achieves by crossing Classical music with modern New Age and Ambient flavors. The type of physical and emotional feeling that you will receive from these music is not easily expressible in earthly words. I urge you to listen and be whisked away to a place where we all belong. Each track of sounds offers something beautiful and just as indescribable. Glorious, heavenly, celestial, esoteric: these are just a few words that come to my mind when trying to explain this music.
Origen gives a thorough and personal working over to Donizetti’s “Una Fortiva Lagrima”, Handel’s "Lascia Ch’io Pianga", Mozart’s “Lacrimosa” and "Ave Maria", among others. Obviously these pieces would never be complete without Tanya Lubimenko of the Ukrainian National Opera House, whose voice is possible one of the most beautiful voices on this planet. Her singing wafted to my ears like a melodic and healing balm, the harmony and perfection of each vocal rendition so comforting and embracing. Origen and Tanya have crafted a masterful collection of music that just makes you feel better, and calmer, about being exactly whom and where you are. It is, perhaps, accurately characterized as the ambient sound of well-being.
But Origen’s music is so much more, than just recreating classics. Creating music in the purest sense, is piecing together notes which are born in the soul, take their first steps in the heart, and are given flight through a musical instrument. Nowhere is that more evident than with what Origen accomplishes on tracks such as the “Kyrie Eleison”, “Dance of the Clouds Part 1+2”, “Tears of the Past", "Heavenly Blue" and "Piano Dreams". The songs are admirable masterpieces and pleasant music to listen to. The melodies that can be found are filled with beautiful emotions, they are gentle and interesting, and transport you to a state of complete harmony and relaxation. There are elements of early romance and impressionist periods in the compositions, but with modern approaches to score and voice among instruments. The music lets emotion lead, but does not ignore structure and sways between ambiance and melody with grace and intent.
