As a meeting of living masters, this collaboration between legendary
vocalist Mohammed Reza Shajarian, his
multi-instrumentalist/apprentice singer son, Homayoun, kamancheh
(spike fiddle) virtuoso Kayhan Kalhor plus Hossein Alizadeh, a noted
exponent of the tar (lute) would be hard to top. Thus, it is not
surprising that their recent USA tours were routinely sold out or
that their debut album, Without You, was nominated for a 2003 Grammy.
The tradition these artists so peerlessly exemplify is drawn from
medieval Persian court music and Sufi devotional poetry. Intricate
melodies flow outward from ancient modal tunings as the scratchy
violin, rumbling tombak (a goblet-shaped frame drum) and plangent
plucked strings alternatively mirror, augment and embark from
Shajarian Senior╣s plaintive, soaring, preternaturally fluid flights
of improvisation. That the performances were captured live under
ideal sonic circumstances transmits all the immediacy of witnessing
epochal interpretations as they flower from seed to deliriously
fragrant full bloom.

A stunning 2-CD set of live performances by the Persian supergroup
now known as the Masters Of Persian Music... Kalhan Kalhor (also of
the group Ghazal) played the Ur-fiddle known as the kamancheh, with
rhythmic accompaniment by Homayoun Shajarian on tombak and melodic
counterpoint by Hossein Alizadeh on the tar (lute). One of Persia's
greatest modern vocalists, Mohammad Reza Shajarian leads with
lyrical, soulful interpretations of mystical poetry by various
classic Persian poets. Both the vocals and the instrumental sections
rely heavily on improvisation, and this element of all the artists
being fully in the moment adds to the sense of conviction and emotion
that characterize all the recordings by this widely lauded group. The
first disc is mellower and more introspective, while several songs on
the second set build towards a more frenzied, ecstatic release... If
you've enjoyed earlier albums by Ghazal or the Masters ensemble, this
live album will thrill you as a well. Recommended!

The grandeur, beauty and spiritual power of Persia's rich musical
history is eloquently laid out on the two-CD set Faryad. Legendary
singer Mohammed Reza Shajarian, kamancheh (spike fiddle) player
Kayhan Kalhor, tar (plucked lute) player Hossein Alizadeh and
vocalist (and Mohammed's son) Homayoun Shajarian, join together to
present a seamless landscape of Persian music. Linked to the mystical
sufi tradition as well as medieval royal courts, classical Persian
(Iran) music embodies meditation, vocal precision and improvisation.
Masters of Persian Music: Faryad works with the innovations of the
super group, allowing new melodic and polyphonic structures to be
introduced. The effect is a stunning array of soothing,
multi-dimensional music.

From now on, we rip everything in VBR, using the alt-preset standard.
h e l p f u f f e n s
We are looking for quality sites in Europe and US, to be afilliated
on. Remember, we are not in it for the creds, but for the spreading
of quality music - we just want to get our releases out to the ppl
that wants/needs it. More pre sites fills this purpose.
