专辑简介
In this world premiere recording, American conductor JoAnn Falletta and the London Symphony Orchestra offer a remarkable performance of Behzad Ranjbaran's dramatic and colorful "Persian Trilogy" for orchestra. The orchestral cycle "Persian Trilogy," comprising Seven Passages, Seemorgh, and The Blood of Seyavash, takes its inspiration from ancient Persian legends, as recounted in the 11th century epic poem "Shahname" (The Book of Kings). A quote from the introduction to an English translation of the Book of Kings, still a respected classic a thousand years after its creation, touches on its cultural significance: "The Shahname has had a sustained and vital influence within its cultural tradition... it depicts the beliefs and values of Iranian society as they were before the coming of Islam..." Behzad Ranjbaran composed the cycle over a period of 10 years. His rich orchestrations, exciting rhythms, and powerful climaxes are balanced by lyricism and delicacy. An instantly accessible fusion of ancient and modern, this music leaves a lasting impression. Behzad says: "Seemorgh (Phoenix) was inspired by an ancient Persian legend about a giant magic bird and the struggle between good and evil." The piece is a ballet in seven scenes.
