Synopsis

Album Description
From My Heart Violin: Farzad Composed and arranged by Farzad My original pieces are all a culmination of genres, eastern, western, classical, jazz, folk. It's difficult to categorize my music. I have a strong belief that in the creative process artists must resist the tendency to remain set in a single style, that they allow their influences to shine through and allow music, in and of itself, to evolve. Therefore, in "From My Heart" you will hear the strong influence of many sounds in my original pieces, as well as in adaptations of the folk songs.

Persian Folklore Violin in Western Classical Style
fred Khozein | Santa Fe, New Mexico | 08/19/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"From My Heart is Farzad's first album. All of the tracks are composed and arranged by Farzad. Some of the most traditional persian folkloric music are arranged with background orchestration to introduce a larger audience to the world of persian music. Four of the tracks are Farzad's original compositions and the rest of the six tracks are modified Persian folkloric music. Here are the names of the tracks: Conversation, Longing (soozeh), A Girl From Boyer Ahamad (Dokhtare Boyer Ahamadi), Dance of Martyrdom, Unfinished story, Wheat Flower( Gole Gandom ), A Father's Wish, Layli( Shekare Ahoo), Medley ( Massom,Darraneh,Aziz Joon),Yearning of the HeartIf you want to listen to a soft, gentle violin and orchestration arrangement music, I strongly recommend From My Heart to lift up your heart."
An ancient calling
EH Fritz | Las Cruces, NM United States | 12/06/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"It is said that the ancient Persian musicians would be called upon to calm the fevered brow of the King. The best of them could create music that would make the listener smell roses. The Persian way is the way of mystic passion, the depth of the heart in search of God. Farzad dives deeply into that heart to expose to the world the best of what is there.
Farzad belongs to a religion which has been hounded and persecuted with deadly intent for over one hundred fifty years. It is a peaceful religion called Baha'i. The search for the Manifestation of God is ongoing and profound among Baha'is. It is the reaching out for the hands of all human beings in peace and love. Farzad plays with that emotion. He soars with eagles and sings with nightingales. His is indeed the music of the heart. I dare you to listen and not weep."
