℗ Le Chant du Monde — Harmonia Mundi
The 11th CD in the Le Chant Du Monde collection features a tribute to Nakīsā and Bārbad, two illustrious court musicians in Ancient Persia, along with several ancient Kurdish zekrs performed in the intimacy of Ostad Elahi’s family environment.
Harātī Suite
As before, this dance piece is full of spiritual joy and begins powerfully, reinforced by a persistent humming on the low string. The listener is taken up in the movement, surrounded by the lightness and swirling rhythm of uninterrupted variations. In the sequence of tunes often played by Ostad, every change of rhythm creates a new atmosphere and carries one ever further. Then the music abruptly stops and silence sustains the emotion.
