CD Reviews

Traditional Central Asian music- a winner

09/26/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Dancers and fans of traditional mid-eastern music take note. A beautiful and original set of songs that captures the essense of Central Asia. Emotionally rich, rhythmically alert and well executed on traditional instruments. Some very danceable pieces in the collection- for tribal, troupe or solo."

Wow! wow! wow!

"breath takingly performed. the vocals send shivers down your spine. the performances are superb (the tar is excellent). althou not known worldwide, as he deserves to be, farzed is undoubtedly one of the greatest masters of the middle eastern violin alive today. he and turku may be relatively unknown for now, but will not be for long. wow wow wow"
