This is just the merest sampling of the huge amount of music available east of NATO territory... I can hardly claim that this is a comprehensive, or even representative, sample of what's available. Nonetheless, these are some of the albums which have leapt out at me over the last few years -- hopefully you will find these records as striking as I have. And keep checking this site for more reviews-- it is sure to expand over time. This is the first page covering the letter "N"...
Shahram Nazeri & Hafez Nazeri "The Passion Of Rumi" (Quarter Tone, 2007)
The mystical-romantic lyrics of the great Sufi poet, Rumi, put to music by the father-son duo of Shahram and Hafez Nazeri... Listeners who've enjoyed recent albums by the Persian classical ensemble Ghazal will appreciate this as well... Very stately and richly realized.
