Four top, accomplished musicians, envoys by whose fingers the magical hand of music strums the hearts of listeners, imbue their environs with other-worldly sounds whose rustle, tap, chime, clink, lilt, whisper, and croon touch the souls of audiences and squire them on an intoxicating journey of transformation through fluttering restlessness, sobbing grief, galloping ecstasy, and swirling joy. Rooted firmly in the melodic frames of classical Persian music, this collection inspires the spirit in meditative, romantic, melancholic, and joyous explorations, even of listeners unfamiliar with the sounds of this musical tradition.
