    Here You Can Download the English Booklet of Magic

    Cover The fiddle belongs to the most popular instruments around the world. It is especially manifold and of outstanding quality in Asia: a multitudinous variety can be found between an archaic fiddle with just one string (like the Vietnamese koni) and lutes with dozens of sympathy strings (like the North Indian sarangi). Which is hardly surprising as musicologists consider the Central Asian high plateau to be the original homeland of all fiddles worldwide. Numerous the instruments, equally numerous the outstanding virtuosos: On the four CDs you can hear music form Egypt to China and from Turkey to Indonesia, for example from Dr L Subramaniam, Turgun Alimatov, Ram Narayan, Raushan Orazbaeva, Habil Aliyev, Kala Ramnath, Derya Türkan, Seikin Tomiyama, Kim Joo-ri, or Gaguik Mouradian. Additionally there is the recording of a concert held at TFF Rudolstadt 2002 with nine knee fiddle virtuosi from Asia and Europe, among them Dhruba Ghosh and Kayhan Kalhor. A four-hour bonus DVD contains a report about this project, a small documentary on the manufacturing of a Svanetian chuniri, and live recordings from greats such as Lalgudi G Jayaraman, Ali Asghar Bahari, Violons barbares, Ahoar or Huun-Huur-Tu plus exclusively a 35-minute Rababa Concerto written by Marcel Khalilfe. Booklet The bow is burning and moaning like Moses, and the player is listening attentively to the singer, who starts a wonderful ghazal, praising this orgy. (Nizami Ganjavi, Azeri poet, Khosrov and Shirin) Prologue There is no doubt among scholars that bowing a lute was among the latest sound-producing experiments man undertook in developing his musicianship.
