Arash Badie & Panos Skouteris - Khazan by Hossein Alizadeh w/ Zilan Hasret Yıldız & Mahyar Tahmasbi

AZIZIE | Khazan by Hossein Alizadeh «Azizie is a place precious & deeply beloved. The place of the heart, where the mind flees.» The sixth track of the album “Azizie“, “Khazan” is composed by Hossein Alizadeh, one of Iran’s leading traditional composers and a virtuosic player of tar and setar. This piece was written approximately in 1986-87, and the word Khazan itself can be translated into autumn or fall. Additionally, Khazan is performed in one of the most fundamental Dastgah of Iranian musical repertoire, being Dastgāh-e Šur. This performance of the piece is dedicated to Alizadeh himself, as a deep appreciation towards his essential musical contributions, whose support and guidance towards this quarter brought us the opportunity to present this music elegantly and collaboratively.
