Anthology Of World Music : Iran (1998)

"Iran, cradle of the most ancient cultures in the world, has remained a land of inspiration where, in all epochs, painters, poets, mystics, philosophers and musicians have flourished. Iranian music, like Indian music, is modal, but in its structure itseems to be more closely related to ancient Greek music. On this 2-CD set, young musicians such as the singer Golpayegani and older musicians such as kamantch player Ashgar Bahari show the intensity of discipline, technique, emotion and skill of interpretation that make Iranian music perhaps the most profound and most human musical system of our time."
