Dedication To Uzeer Gadjibegov
This album is dedicated to Uzeer Gadjibegov (pronounced Ü-zîr Hâ-jî-béi-göff), one of the most prominent figures in the music and culture of Azerbaijan. Amongst his accomplishments are several operas which are based on folk fables or epic fragments including Ârshîn Mâl âlân and Kür-üghli. He also has created several compositions based on the mystical verses of Nézâmî Gandjavî, the 6th C.H. (12th C.A.D.) Persian poet, and sufî philosopher. Shortly before his death he started an opera based on Nizâmî's Khosrow & Shîrîn, which was never completed. |
