Piano Sonatas & Ballades

Iranian Composer Afshin Jaberi's Powerful Music Combines 19th Century Western Piano Traditions with Eastern Melodic Influences. It Is Strongly Connected with the Message of Equality and Peaceful Unity Promoted By His Religious Faith. The Bab Ballades Depict Dramatic Heroism and Tragic Sacrifice, While the Sonatas Express the Horrors of War and the Fragility of Remote Cultures, Out of Which New Hope and the Chance for Reconciliation Can Emerge. Art Was Always the Center of My Life; I Was Always Attracted to Beauty and Striving Towards Harmony; the Music in This Recording Was a Beginning of a Spiritual Journey, a Journey of Faith, Sacrifice, a Path of Life with Deep Emotional Affections... They Were My Remedy Facing the Hardships and Calamities and Challenges of My Life. - Afshin Jaberi.
