Comments:
Information from owned CD. Although medieval in content, the interpretation seems to be largely based on improvisation/arrangement (note: Djamchid Chemirani is a traditional Iranian percussionist, and that tradition is based largely on improvisation), but what improvisation! These two artists are real masters of their instruments and this CD will probably please to most individuals interested in the islamic/european cross-influence.
