This live recording of Persian mystical music based on the poems of Rumi and Hafez is an exquisite album of power and beauty. Featuring Mohammad Reza Lotfi on tar, setar, and vocals, and Mohammad Ghavihelm on tombak and daf, this is a deeply inspired and soulful work.
What is readily apparent is the depth of emotion and spirituality that this music conveys. With an introduction by Robert Bly, the liner notes incorporate translations of the poems by Coleman Barks, Gertrude Bell and Arthur J. Arberry, and include explanations about the music by Mohammad Reza Lotfi. — From “Mystery of Love“
