This concert will bring to the fore the voice of one of the rising stars of Persian singing. Alireza Ghorbani, a representative of the younger generation, will be accompanied by an ascending figure among kemancha (viola) players, young Sohrab Pournazeri from Kurdistan. Born to a family versed in religious observances, Alireza Ghorbani was first taught Coranic chanting and later the tar and setar at the Teheran music academy. He can legitimately aspire to succeed his model, Mohammad Reza Shadjarian, with whom he shares vocal excellence: an impeccable technique, subtly adorned with the tahrir, those sonorous “glottal effects” creating a surge of overwhelming emotions, which verges on mysticism. His record Calligraphies vocales [Vocal Calligraphy] released by Accords Croisés features Dariush Tala’i on the tar and setar as well as Djamchid Chemirani on the zarb as his accompanists; this bears witness to the trust granted to Ghorbani by such unrivalled masters of the Persian tradition and to the beauty of the voyage we will be taken on towards the summits of musical poetry.
