A bewildering project to some degree. G. I. Gurdjieff was a mystic and Jarrett felt compelled to complete this project. The music is a little cold at times but it's not an album where he's about to fly off the rails as he keeps it simple and restrained.
Boraston
Here we have simplicity itself: a series of piano transcriptions of some solemn, now-dark, now-affirmative religious hymns by one G.I. Gurdjieff, with none of the usual flourishes and heady flights usually associated with Keith Jarrett's solo records. Jarrett assumes the proper devotional position, playing with a steady tread but always with attention to dynamic extremes, producing a gorgeously rich piano tone with plenty of bass. The whole record has a serene dignity, even at its loudest levels, that gets to you, and that should be enough for the devout Jarrett following.

Terrible interpretation. Keith Jarret seems very angry at some points, he bits the piano with an hammer. Gurdjieff is a meditative relaxing musique but this version will just ruin your nerves.
