This review is from: Music From Tajikistan Georgia Azerbaijan Armenia (Audio CD)

For Kancheli fans, I would recommend this for a vivacious, driving performance of "a la Duduki...". Besides that excellent piece, the work by Yusupov on this CD is outstanding, and a good example of the beauty that can be culled from an amalgamation of cultural styles in music. The piece uses a number of odd members of the flute family which one can rarely here in western music, along with strings and hypnotic percussion. The Amirov piece is excellent as well, though not as good as some of his other symphonic maqams. The Terteryan piece is the weakest, yet interesting in its own way, lots of percussion here as well. A fantastic set which is going very cheaply for some reason! Recommended to fans of modern composers from the region
