Free Music Notes for Moon Rise Over the Silk Road
Free Music Review: Excellent in all aspects
Hit: 5 Stars
The cd contains only three tracks. The musicians are excellent and seem to be having a ball exchanging licks. The Indian and Persian traditions are gracefully integrated. I always suggest listening to a few minutes on some website. I am happy with the original cd and with the version that came to my door. The cover fell off, but what the heck. This is fusion at its best.
Moon Rise Over the Silk Road Poster
This is the third collaboration between Kayhan Kalhor, the Iranian kamancheh (a vertical, four-string fiddle) player, and Shujaat Husain Khan, a sitar virtuoso. Kalhor in particular has made great inroads in Europe and America, bringing the music of Iran to listeners who would never have known about it, in no small part because of Ghazal. The idea behind this duo's work is to bring together two rather disparate classical traditions, Persian and Hindustani. The results are mixed. The casual listener will find this music interesting and approachable. Those who appreciate complex improvisation will find the talents of these two artists irresistible. Those who are well versed in either Persian or Indian music, however, may find that the improvisations wander a bit too much, having solid roots in neither tradition. Many may find Kalhor's solo recording, Scattering Stars Like Dust, to be far more satisfying. --Louis GibsonInternational Music CDs
