Afshin Jaberi - Afshin Jaberi: Ballades Nos. 4-9 'The Eroica'

This album completes Afshin Jaberi�s powerful cycle of Ballades (Nos. 1�3, with Sonatas Nos. 1�3 are on GP694). The nine pieces together take the title The Eroica and offer a stylistic synthesis of Eastern melody and Western classical harmonic and structural traditions. Strongly influenced by the Iranian composer�s Bah�� faith, the Ballades� narratives are focused on tracing the early years of one of the world�s youngest religions, one dedicated to peaceful unity and the betterment of humanity.
