Settle in for a sublime piano instrumental journey from Magdi Aboul-Kheir, ‘Found the Way’!

‘The piano keys are black and white, but they sound like a million colours in your mind.’ This beautiful quote definitely encapsulates the overall listening experience of this composition. Magdi delivers an absolutely brilliant performance in ‘Found the Way’, a track from his latest instrumental album, ‘The Mirror of Truth’. The excellent piano interplay that evokes a range of indescribably complex emotions and reflections over its 6-minute runtime.

The tracks in serene minimal fashion tiptoe notes before swelling cinematically. Suddenly, it’s as though a bubbling melodic stream has been unleashed. Fluid yet intricately balanced, like watching a gentle river stream flowing.

The interplay between layers of piano is quite stunning. Upon the bed of twinkling piano notes rings out a deeply emotive, almost melancholic forefront layer, exuding a somber, reflective aura. Staying true to its fluid nature, ‘Found the Way’ flows through delightfully arranged progressions. One can’t help but allude to the emotional depth Magdi creates here.

Halfway in, the track rewards patient, attentive listening with a marked upshift in tonal emotion. We’ve gone from somber and reflective to hopeful and upbeat with remarkable grace and composure. What we loved about ‘Found the Way’ is its intricate tonal transitions it takes us through. This is an intrumental gem of a piece that will surely find favor and admiration from classical music afficianados.
