About

All of the composers here combine elements of ancient Azerbaijani tradition with Western forms, colourful orchestration and vivid musical storytelling. This is epitomized in Vasif Adigezalov’s symphonically proportioned Fourth Piano Concerto, while Fikret Amirov adds a touch of Arabian exoticism into his Concerto.

The bubbling energy of Tofig Guliyev’sGaytagi’ dance adds a splash of jazz, and Farhad Badalbeyli’s works depict The Sea in an expansive and atmospheric score, followed by the sad tale of the city of Shusha, expressed in a vocalise.

The pianist and conductor Farhad Badalbeyli was born in 1947 and since 1991 has been rector of Baku Music Academy. The winner of a number of international competitions, he has received various honours in the Soviet Union and in his native Azerbaijan.
