Award-winning composer and pianist Karen Salicath Jamali has unveiled her latest ethereal creation, Wings of Gabriel, now available to listeners worldwide. This 11-track piano album, born entirely from her dreams and inspired by the energy of Archangel Gabriel, offers a deeply spiritual and introspective journey, characteristic of Jamali’s celestial and intuitive style.
Wings of Gabriel unfolds across three distinct movements, each exploring a different facet of Gabriel’s presence. The first wing radiates softness and tenderness, immersing listeners in a gentle, compassionate soundscape. The second wing channels divine compassion and serene inner peace, offering a reflective sanctuary for the soul. The final wing moves into the mysterious and ineffable, capturing the expansive, otherworldly magic of Gabriel’s influence. Each track feels like a delicate message, realized through Jamali’s Golden Age Steinway piano in the quiet, pre-dawn hours that inspire her most intuitive compositions.
Mastered by legendary engineer Maria Triana, whose work spans artists like Aretha Franklin and Bob Dylan, the album’s sound is pristine, nuanced, and emotionally resonant. Jamali’s playing brings an extraordinary sense of life to each piece, as though the piano itself is communicating directly with the listener. Her touch combines gentle precision with profound expressiveness, creating music that provides both emotional clarity and spiritual grounding.
Designed for deep listening, Wings of Gabriel invites reflection, meditation, or quiet companionship, offering moments of serenity in an otherwise hectic world. Complementing the music, the album cover features one of Jamali’s original paintings, connecting her visual and musical artistry in a singular, immersive experience.
With over 2,500 compositions and multiple solo performances at Carnegie Hall to her credit, Karen Salicath Jamali continues to establish herself as a visionary in contemporary classical music. Wings of Gabriel marks a luminous chapter in her angelic repertoire, offering listeners a dream-born passage into the divine.
