Melodic Circles: Urban Classical Music from Iran

This new release is an album of urban, classical Iranian music performed by cousins Mehdi Rostami and Adib Rostami, who present two ‘melodic circles,’ integrating influences from traditional Kurdish music and music from the Fars province. Rooted in ancient Iranian musical tradition, the pieces present a fresh, contemporary perspective. The Rostami duo have arrived at such a level of mastery, that in each performance they open a luminous window to musical discovery to any new listener. “…sheer magic that keeps the listener ultimately spellbound. Classical Persian music of the highest order… hauntingly beautiful music with enormous charm, as well as often high energy, tension and excitement that are just breath-taking. (Rainlore’s World of Music) “…An enthralling collaboration between two highly-skilled musicians.” (Folk and Honey)
