026. Announcing: Love, Crystal and Stone

TAK Editions Podcast

Announcing TAK's newest release, Love Crystal and Stone! Ashkan Behzadi’s composition stretches musical lyricism to its limit, imagining an impossibly radical, revolutionary folk music that pushes the individual and collective virtuosity of TAK ensemble to new heights. This concert length work is a sensual, intricately interwoven, and deeply philosophical setting of the poetry of Federico García Lorca. The CD is housed inside a book featuring paintings by Mehrdad Jafari, an original essay by Saharnaz Samaeinejad, poetry by Federico García Lorca & translations by Ahmad Shamlou.
