Search - Koorosh Angali, Alan Kushan :: Koorosh Angali Recites Rumi

X DOT 25 Music Productions is celebrating Rumi's 790th birthday on September 30, 1997. To mark Rumi's 790th birthday and more exposure for this great Persian poet and philosopher, X DOT 25 Music released this 60 minute CD containing poems from Rumi's "Divaan-e Kabeer" book accompanied by music performed by Alan Kushan on Santur. This album "Rumi I - Koorosh Angali Recites Rumi" is the first of a series of compact disks which will be released by X DOT 25 Music, bringing to audio the words and wisdom of Rumi to a broader audience around the world. In this album Koorosh Angali (himself a poet) recites a selection of Mawlana Jalal ad-Din Mohammad Balkhi's odes from the diwan (poetical miscellany) of Shams Tabrizi. In this album we used Rumi's original Persian language, in which these penetrating words were written, so you can hear it the way it originally sounded, to realize why Mawlana has so dearly entered so many hearts in the world throughout the past eight centuries. Alan Kushan accompanies Koorosh Angali with some magnificent santur pieces setting the mode for the wisdom of "the Master", whose verses are praised by millions of Sufis and the followers of mysticism, spirituality, and eastern philosophy. There are interpretations of every poem in English in the liner notes of this great compact disk. Koorosh Angali, a virtuoso exponent of Rumi's poetry, and Persian classical literature, is himself a poet. Style/Genre: World/Ambient/Rumi's Poetry Instrumentation: Persian Poetry, Santur, Soft Orchestral Synthesizers.
