The election of Donald Trump had a powerful impact on many artists. They had to act! Regardless of the scale or stature of the project, they had to respond to the new situation. For composer Gabriel Kahane, this reaction was immediate. The day after the election, he packed his bags and set off on a journey with a simple, humanist aim: meeting people. It was a hunt for inspiration over 8980 miles end-to-end, and it gave birth to the album Book of Travelers. It's a thirteen-day journey, told through the people Kahane met, and their stories. This "diary" album of eleven songs offers a worm's eye view of America. Rolling out profiles and stories, we go beyond songs, venturing into a sort of theatrical album, where the only character on stage is a huckster. Classical piano compositions, Gabriel's smooth, angelic voice offers a personal meditation, an opening onto the world and onto others. For his first album on Nonesuch, the Californian, who is sometimes compared to Rufus Wainwright or Sufjan Stevens, goes long on sincerity, calm tragedies and unadorned moments of happiness. He takes in a few personal stories as well, like his grandmother's flight from Germany to the USA, on October 1, 1939. On this piano, buttressed against the weight of these stories, the intimacy of these lives are given proper respect by Kahane and his careful playing. © Anna Coluthe/Qobuz
