Raz-o-Niaz is performed by the acclaimed Sheyda and Aref Ensemble, featuring the beautiful voice of
Alireza Eftekhari. In this recording, Alizadeh shows his compositional skills in writing classical Persian
music for a large ensemble, incorporating western orchestration techniques and imaginative, compelling
orchestral ideas. Raz-o-Niaz is thoroughly classical Persian music in inspiration, with novel and
compelling approaches to form and orchestration. Raz-O-Niaz will take you on a powerful journey
colored by a canvas of ancient melodies. The setar duets in Raz-o-Niaz evoke some of the most
inspirational and mystic imagery found in Persian music today.
