Mahmoud Tabrizi-Zadeh
Music is found at different moments in theater, in the background,
the foreground... But in "Qui est la", Mahmoud Tabrizi-Zadeh
is ever present with his subtle talent, his humanity and tradition.
-- Peter Brook
It's not very hard to love a Googoosh tune or to be struck by Mozart's
genius. But what you are about to hear is unique and unusual -- modern
music perfomed with, among others, traditional Iranian instruments.
If
your haven't heard a lot of modern music, you first need to listen to Mahmoud
Tabrizi-Zadeh's music more than a couple a of times and only then you my
come to like it. But many won't. It's just too "weird".
I think his work is brilliant. Listening to them, I was often pulled
away from earthly distractions, feeling like a mere particle in the universe.
Tabrizi-Zadeh, who died quietly in France last year, collaborated with
the modern playwright Peter Brook for many years. We have featured tracks
from his "Scenes" CD in which he plays all the instruments. You
can purchase this CD directly from Amazon.com.
