"IRAN SYMPHONY" TO BE RECORDED IN ARMENIA

 

YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 22. ARMINFO. Well known Iranian composer Shahin

Farhat and Armenian composer and conductor Loris Tjeknavorian have

arrived in Yerevan today to record Farhat's Iran Symphony with Armenian

Philharmonic Orchestra, reports IranMania.

 

Farhat is known for his patriotic works like Iranian Lady Symphony,

Damavand Symphony and Persian Gulf Symphony.

 

The recording will be held on the initiative of the Iranian Academy

of Arts.

 

To remind, in late 90 Tjeknavorian was APO director and principal

conductor.

MUSICIANS TO RECORD 'IRAN SYMPHONY' IN ARMENIA

LONDON, November 22 (IranMania) - Iranian musicians Shahin Farhat

and Loris Tjeknavorian left Tehran for Armenia today to record the

?Iran Symphony? with the Armenian Philharmonic Orchestra, MNA said.

 

One of the reasons the symphony is being recorded abroad is that

I would like to record it once with all members of the orchestra

playing simultaneously. In Iran, unfortunately, an orchestral work

is recorded by several groups of players at different times. Thus,

mixing the instruments takes much time,? Farhat said.

 

Farhat began composing the work last March and finished it in October.

It abstractly demonstrates bittersweet events our country has

experienced over history,? he said previously.

With a genuine Iranian theme, the symphony has been written in four

movements and takes about 40 minutes. The first and second movements

have an exciting and fast rhythm, the third movement is mellow,

and the ending reminds one of triumph and victory.

 

According to Farhat, the Iranian Academy of Arts is funding the

recording of the symphony, which will be conducted by Tjeknavorian.

 

Farhat had earlier asked Ali Rahbari to conduct the symphony, but

Rahbari quit his post as the Tehran Symphony Orchestra permanent

conductor and left Tehran for Vienna on November 19 due to the chaotic

situation of music in Iran and the low salaries paid to musicians in

the orchestra.

 

Farhat also composed the ?Iranian Lady Symphony?, the ?Damavand

Symphony?, and the ?Persian Gulf Symphony?, all of which have

patriotic themes.

 

Farhat?s Persian Gulf and Damavand symphonies were originally scheduled

to be recorded in Iran by the Tehran Symphony Orchestra conducted by

Tjeknavorian, but in the end they were also recorded in Armenia by

the Armenian Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Tjeknavorian.

 

Farhat had expressed satisfaction with the Armenian orchestra?s

performance of the symphony.

 

Do you hear what I hear?

Is that the definition of “cacophony”?

Pun intended.

You know what the first syllable above means in Armenian.

When the president opens his big mouth and instead of speaking about his country he speaks about another country in the Middle East.

When the Mullahs, istead of minding heir own business and native culture they pretend to take over the lead from those who invented Islam, who even themselves don’t overtly promote their own invention, Saudi Arabia?

Or is it the youth who play the most decadent cacophonic western music in their sound proof dens?

 

Is that the definition of cacophony??

 

Maybe when those idiotic Mullahs and their clowns decide to get back down to this planet, join this world and start singing in “perfect harmony” then, perhaps their symphony orchestra will also learn to play in harmony.

 

Until then the Yerevan Philharmonic will be glad to harmoniously harvest the fruits of their harebrainedness.
