great recording & notes.......2007-07-21

Great Sufi poetry (3 ancient poets, 1 contemporary) sung by a great voice (she also does western opera) backed by a terrific instrumental ensemble. The notes on recordings by this label are sometimes skimpy and general; the notes for this recording are excellent, including information on the perfomers, poets, instruments, Sufism, and the booklet includes all lyrics in Persian script and English translations. The booklet is in several languages, the usual custom for the label, but is thicker than many because the notes are (thankfully) more detailed. Great work, ARC Music, for circulating this CD around the world! And kudos to the artists.

A Must Have!.......2007-04-21

Having grown up in the USA, I've always been moved to experience other cultures art,spirituality, music, foods, etc.. Listening to "Music of the Persian Mystics" is a feast for the senses. The artists who composed this beloved CD are nothing short of genius. This is how I can describe my listening experience: a mystical journey on which I didn't want to return, delicious, ripe, heart, soothing, delicate, longing, exquisite, love, restorative, delightful, pure passion.. I could go on, but lastly, the music opens the heart to the creative tapestry of our world community, that I for one, could not exist without. It is food for the soul, and my hope is that listening to this music could bridge the gap of all politics, religions, and the illusion of separation we humans think there is among different cultures. I can only want more of this!!

Real art talks to your soul.......2005-01-17

When people are honest in their feelings, when they are masters in their art, when they meet together, only then comes a heavenly melody like this to life. I was shocked by listening to this CD, by realising that such a masterpiece can exists. Once I played it, I could not stop it any more. Though I can not understand Persian, but Zohreh Jooya with her voice,Madjid Derakhshani with his tar and voice, Marwan Abado with his oud,Amirabbas Zare with his daf,Stefan Hendrix and Reza Safaverdi with their cellos, Maghsoudloo with his ney, Klaus Gesing and Thomas Nawratil with their sax and tabla all this together with the mystical poems of Mowlana Rumi, Hafiz, Saadi and Shafii Katkany made me speachless
Thank you all.
I will sure one day attend your concerts!

An Extraordinary Musical Experience.......2003-08-16

I attended a concert of this group in Bonn/Germany last year. I got caught by Mrs Jooya's voice. Mr. Derakhshani composed a wonderful piece of art. Even hours after the concert the melodies did not leave my head. It was the most exiting concert of Persian music I have ever attended.
