Journey to Persia

A fascinating and enjoyable album of songs and instrumentals from Persia. Zohreh Jooya, a wonderfully delicate singer, Ostad Majid Derakhshani (tar, bamtar, dohol), Ostad Saeed Farajpoury (kamancheh), Nariman Hodjati (tar, setar) and other luminaries of Iranian music and instruments weave a richly textured carpet of Eastern sounds. Extensive information about artists, musical instruments and each of the pieces in English and German.
