This Island Earth
Sunday April 1st, 2018 with David Dalle
Hafez Nazeri's Rumi Symphony, Kiran Aluhwalia's brand new release, music from Estonia, Iraq, Turkey, India, Senegal, South Africa and more!
Welcome to my guest spot on This Island Earth. Today we will hear a mix of old and new favourites with the centrepiece being a unique 2014 recording from Hafez Nazeri, son and heir to the great Shahram Nazeri. This was an ambitious project by Hafez to celebrate the poetry of Rumi in a form which mixed European and Persian classical styles. It featured several prominent guest musicians including his father, Zakir Hussain, and Matt Haimovitz. I have not programmed it since 2014 and it has never been featured on any other program, it definitely deserves to be heard more!

| Don't miss this exceedingly rare opportunity to hear such a prominent artist in one of the Arab world's greatest musical traditions. Hussein Al Adhami is a master of Iraqi classical Maqam performance. Particularly after more than a decade of war and conflict, this tradition is greatly endangered.
