5.0 out of 5 stars Maestro Shahidi, August 3, 2008

Mr. Shahidi's contribution to the Iranian contemporary music is immense and, unfortunately, underrated; perhaps because of his subtle expressions in both playing Barbat [Persian)Ud (Arabic), Lute (Renaissence)] and in his magnificent vocal works.

Even though he remains an icon in his genre, his mastery in playing Barbat and combining it with the art of Iranian traditional singing should have been acknowledged and praised far more.

Nonetheless, his contribution to Golha programs has preserved his mastery in the challenge of simultaneous singing and playing barbat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shahidi gets creative...., October 12, 2009

This CD has Shahidi going just a bit outside strictly classical Persian sound, though he sticks to the fundamental Dastgah, or modes. A tiny bit of western influence has crept in around the edges, but not enough to mar the "Persianess" of this music. Shahidi lives in the US now, and some influence from here is inevitable, none of us lives in a vacuum. I highly recommend this CD.
