Alizadeh Live at the Los Angeles Festival

This recording is perhaps the first recording of the new language of Hossein Alizadeh in improvization, where he is going beyond the usual. While connected to the roots of Persian music, he creates a phantasy of the future in a free spirit. Recorded during a live concert at the J. Paul Getty Museum as part of the 1993 Los Angeles Festival, Hossein Alizadeh demonstrates his mastery of improvisation in an electrifying performance on setar. Alizadeh draw upon the rich heritage of Persian melodies in his creation of this colorful and highly energetic music.
