5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible String Instrument from Iran, January 13, 2008

By	achdukleidustein "none" (Vladivistock) - See all my reviews

The Setar, great grandfather of the Sitar, played by one of the greats of the modern times. If you like the "Master's of Persian Music" listen to this, this is the man who taught them.

5.0 out of 5 stars music enthusiast, November 29, 2008

By	R. Polat (CA, USA) - See all my reviews

It is very rare to come across not only, even not mainly, such a beautiful CD, but such that is both deeply innovative and utterly traditional. I believe I can only compare its depth to that of the great Munir Bashir and to that of Piris Eliyahu. Ebadi's playing is precise, both razor sharp and emotive, with a lot of silences that accentuate the musicality of his playing. I don't know what else I can say to make you seize this rare opportunity of listening to Ebadi.
