  • 15 Reasons to Visit Baku and Azerbaijan Now Recommended by the Savvy Concierge Team at Four Seasons Hotel Baku
    15 Reasons to Visit Baku and Azerbaijan Now Recommended by the savvy Concierge team at Four Seasons Hotel Baku March 16, 2015, Baku, Azerbaijan Experience one of the world’s most exciting cities and let the Concierge team at Four Seasons Hotel Baku be the guide with these recommendations: 1. Icherisheher – The Old City, at 22 hectares (54 acres) in size, it contains hundreds of historical monuments, four of which are of world importance and 28 of which are of local importance. Visit souvenir, carpet and antique shops, and workshops of local handicrafts. It became the first location in Azerbaijan to be 1 classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. You can see Maiden Tower, Market Square, Karvan Saray Bukhara, Karvan Saray Multani, Baku Khan's Residence, Shirvan Shahs' Palace, Aga-Mikhail bath house, Double Gates, and several old mosques in Old town. 2. Old Oil Fields - The fame of Baku as a new industrial revolution capital started with strong fountains of oil in 1872 in the outskirts of the villages of Balakhani, Sabunchu and Ramana. Within a few years oil- bearing parts of Absheron turned into densely populated regions. More than a hundred wells were drilled and on the first stage up to forty small firms functioned in the outskirts of Balakhani. The sharpest problem of oil industrialists of that time was the transportation of oil from Balakhani to Baku. In 1877 a pood of oil cost 3 cents and its transportation to the city cost 20 cents. In 1863 the professor-chemist Mendeleev recommended building an oil pipeline during his visit to Baku, but the volume of production was not big then and that’s why the proposal was never realized.

He adapted an untypical way of making music in which he was able to combine the traditional and the modern type. There are several substances that were brought in music of Azerbaijan by Garayev such as new themes, new images, and new means of composing. He achieved success not only in the areas of the national ballet, choral, and chamber music but also panned out well considering sonata for violin and piano and the violin concerto. These works represents main aspects and characteristics of Garayev’s music like implementation of national traditions while applying new methods of the 20th century, specifically neo-classicism and serial technique. In both sonata for violin and piano and the violin concerto, he reflects a perspective of synthesis of the two musical systems that are the Eastern and the Western.

  • Best of Baku
    Best of Baku Starting From :Rs.:22800 Per Person 5 Days / 4 Nights BAKU .......... Package Description Best of Baku Azerbaijan’s capital is the architectural love child of Paris and Dubai…albeit with plenty of Soviet genes floating half-hidden in the background. Few cities in the world are changing as quickly and nowhere else in the Caucasus do East and West blend as seamlessly or as chaotically. At its heart, the UNESCO-listed lies within an exotically crenellated arc of fortress wall. Around this are gracefully illuminated stone mansions and pedestrianized tree-lined streets filled with exclusive boutiques. The second oil boom, which started around 2006, has turned the city into a crucible of architectural experimentation and some of the finest new buildings are jaw-dropping masterpieces. Meanwhile romantic couples canoodle their way around wooded parks and hold hands on the Caspian-front boulevard , where greens and opal blues make a mockery of Baku’s desert-ringed location. .......... Itinerary Day.1 WELCOME TO BAKU Arrival at Airport Transfer from Airport to Restaurant LUNCH AT INDIAN RESTAURANT Assembly at hotel lobby in sunset time. Proceed to evening city view tour with car Visit toHighland Park-Alley of Martyrs, The National Assembly- also transliterated as Milli Majlis, Flame towers-the tallest skyscraper in Baku. Walking through Baku Boulevard which stretches along a south-facing bay on the Caspian Sea. It traditionally starts at Freedom Square continuing west to the Old City and beyond.

    RESEARCH AND TRADITION Article received on February 23rd 2017 Article accepted on 10th March 2017 UDC: 78.071.1:929 Денисов E. B. Bogumila Mika * University of Silesia, Katowice, Poland Department of Fine Art and Music Institute of Music ‘BENEATH THE SHADOW OF POLITICS’. RECEPTION OF THE MUSIC OF EDISON DENISOV IN POLAND Abstract: The music of Russian composer Edison Denisov was frequently presented in the Warsaw Autumn festival. Between 1964 and 2005, Polish audiences heard his pieces 21 times, including three world premieres. This music was widely received, especially in the 1960s and the 1970s, when Polish culture was strongly influenced by politics. The following decades brought changes in the context of politics and style in the arts, but Denisov’s compositions continued to be performed in Warsaw. The aim of this paper is to present the opinions formulated by Polish music critics as evidence about the reception of Denisov’s music. Key words: Edison Denisov, reception, the Warsaw Autumn festival, critics, avant-garde, Russian music. * Author contact information: [email protected] 139 New Sound 49,1/2017 The political context in post-war Poland After the Second World War, all culture in Poland, including musical culture, was rigorously controlled by politics. The communist authorities imposed their doctrine of art, so-called ‘socialist realism’. The infamous conference in Lagôw Lubuski in Western Poland in 1949 officially condemned ‘musical formalism’ and proclaimed that only socialist realistic music could be written. Political pressure prohibited artistic contacts with the West, including coop­ eration with foreign artists. Polish culture gradually became isolated from West­ ern culture and art.

  • What Makes a Restaurant Ethnic? (A Case Study Of
    FORUM FOR ANTHROPOLOGY AND CULTURE, 2017, NO. 13 WHAT MAKES A RESTAURANT ETHNIC? (A CASE STUDY OF ARMENIAN RESTAURANTS IN ST PETERSBURG) Evgenia Guliaeva Th e Russian Museum of Ethnography 4/1 Inzhenernaya Str., St Petersburg, Russia [email protected] A b s t r a c t: Using restaurants in St Petersburg serving Armenian cuisine as a case study, the article studies the question of what makes an ethnic restaurant ethnic, what may be learnt about ethnicity by studying a restaurant serving a national cuisine, and to what extent the image of Armenian cuisine presented in Armenian restaurants corresponds to what Armenian informants tell us. The conclusion is that the composition of the menu in these restaurants refl ects a view of Armenian cuisine from within the ethnic group itself. The representation of ethnicity is achieved primarily by discursive means. Neither owners, nor staff, nor customers from the relevant ethnic group, nor the style of the interior or music are necessary conditions for a restaurant to be accepted as ethnic. However, their presence is taken into account when the authenticity or inauthenticity of the restaurant is evaluated. Armenian informants, though, do not raise the question of authenticity: this category is irrelevant for them. Keywords: Armenians, ethnicity, ethnic restaurants, national cuisine, authenticity, St Petersburg. To cite: Guliaeva E., ‘What Makes a Restaurant Ethnic?
