"This artist feels his music as he plays and allows the listener to enter his world. The music is very emotional and a definate recommendation for people who love instrumental music - especially the violin. A real masterpiece. I am ordering this album for another family member who loves music as I do."

Definitely a good buy

"for someone of persian descent, this album artfully presents the familiar, comforting, and beautiful sounds of classical persian music. bijan plays excellent violin, though if you're looking for solos of other persian instruments, such as santour or dombak, you may want to supplement this CD with others.



for anyone looking to choreograph traditional persian dance pieces for groups, tracks 5 and 6 provide solid instrumentals with good beats and good melodies, and they have the characteristic sound of persian music that will get an audience excited.



a few of the tracks are a little too dramatic and/or synthesized for my taste, but there's a nice variety of sound throughout, and you'll probably be able to get some good use out of this CD. i recommend it."
