Synopsis

Album Description

Amid the mosques and minarets of Samarkand and Bukhara, generations of vocalists set the mystical, Sufi-inspired verse of Hafiz and other classical poets to lyrical melodies, creating a spiritual art music of great refinement and sublime beauty called Shashmaqâm, confirming its important place among the great art music traditions of Euasia. 18 tracks, 70 minutes, 44-page booklet, photos, and bilingual lyrics; DVD contains series introduction, 24-minute film, interactive glossary, and map. Music of Central Asia is a co-production of the Aga Khan Music Initiative in Central Asia, a program of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, and the Smithsonian Institution Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage. The aim of the series is to present leading exponents of Central Asia's rich and diverse musical heritage to listeners outside the region.

CD Reviews

Misleading Title yet excellent classic works

Turkistan | USA | 03/02/2007

(4 out of 5 stars)

"The title of the CD is misleading, The Classical Music of the Tajiks and Uzbeks. I bought the CD to hear shashmaqam with Uzbek poetic texts/ songs. Yet not even one text/song was Uzbek. As the booklet in the CD states, many of the songs sung are from the poetic texts of Hafiz. I was quite surprised that such a work produced with names like the Smithsonian and the Aga Khan Trust and not one Uzbek song. If one goes to Uzbekistan today, there are incredible classical shashmaqam performers from the historic cities of Samarkand and Bukhara to the heartland of Uzbek traditions, the Ferghana Valley. Overall, the other works are great and I applaud the effort and good work."
