Vali: The Being Of Love Janna Baty, Wurttemberg Philharmonic Reutlingen, Fawzi Haimor

The Iranian composer, Reza Vali, studied in Europe and is now based in the US. Vali’s cross-cultural style fuses Persian modes and forms, Western classical music and the use of microtones – pushing the boundaries of orchestral playing in an exciting way. Mezzo-soprano Janna Baty is the soloist in the orchestral song cycle The Being of Love, sung in Persian.
