Overture from the opera Koroglu. Composer Uzeyir Hajibeyov. Conducted by Mstislav Rostropovich

[QafqazWolf]

Total Azerbaijani Music. This is what I call - Wonderful

[gracekelly413]

again amazing music, and meaningless and irrelevant comments. Can't we just enjoy the gift that these people sent us in an image of music? long live the memory of a great composer and a n irreplaceable conductor!

[MrSamoorian]

Azerbaijan can thank its Armenian composers, writers, composers, architects and oil developers that the country even exists. The Azeri Turks have no talent or culture.....they base their "culture" on Armenian talent and performance. Hajibeyov is a great composer...and he writes in the Armenian genre. God bless him.

[jafarov1987]

@MrSamoorian lol... you are really funny. I am very interseted about education in Armenia. What are they teaching you? I think bullshit. I'm Azerbaijanian and I know many Armenian writers,singers,composers,poet­s etc...I respect all of them, their talents. Why do you have no any respect to Azerbaijanians? Why do you always try to trivialize all these talents? At least you have internet access try to know about these talents, thier life, their career and what relations do they have with Armenia.

[MrSamoorian]

@jafarov1987 Unfortunately you did not understand what I wrote. I congratulated Hajibeyov for his talent. I also appreciated the fact that he wrote much of his music in the Armenian genre. Arshin Mal ala, Mashdi Ibad, Bebo, and other wonderful operettas have been loved by Armenians even before Sefer Belik in 1895-96 and before the Genocide of 1915-1923. Armenians still enjoy Turkish music, much of which was composed by Armenians. Pioneers in Turkish Opera, Literature etc. were Armenians.

[MrSamoorian]

All you know is the Soviet period. The Armenians have 3,500 years of history in Asia Minor and the Caucasus.

Since the time of the Hittites, from whom they are partially descended, the Armenian race, its creativity and genius has risen from the soil and sculpted the rocks and mountains of Anatolia and the Armenian Plateau.

We thank you for preserving so much of our musical genre...even if you have "turkified" it.

[BahruzS]

@MrSamoorian go man,,,,your national why had not any republic in this area?which country did you have?why you didnt say HAyastan (every time Karabagh)? shusha, Kelbeceer,Irevan(erevan),Khoca­li(your proud army killed 650 civils...), Zengilan,Agdam, all of them Turkish language....if our land was your land...why havent here Armenian words?Berde situated 2000 years ago...what is your language Berde?or Qobustan?15.000 ago this are lived a natioanal..you can search...where have outdoor museum...

[MrSamoorian]

@BahruzS I pity you.  Before you were Azeri, you were an Aryan Caucasian race of people. The Turks came and slaughtered your forefathers and "Turkified" you. Look among yourselves. Many Azeris don't even look like Mongols because their were enslaved, raped and Turkified. If you look close enough, you will see that many

Azeris look like Mongols. You are mixed, forgotten your true beginnings and think you are ALL Turks. I pity

you for your ignorance of your own race.

[BahruzS]

@MrSamoorian we are mongolian...firstly i ask you an question...why you didnt answer?about your last name...ssecond, TURKS ARE NOT MONGOL....maybe mongol is Turkish...and where are armenia from?where is your old ARMENIA COUNTRY/>?WHERE ARE YOUR NATIONAL?U USE OUR NATIONAL,,OUR MUSIC...OUR LAND...and you speak about armenian history,,,where is the your proud natioanal in the history?every time you lived like this position...200years ago. big brotherr TURKISH...now big BRAT RUSSIA

[BahruzS]

@MrSamoorian TOMORROW MAYBE BIG BROTHER LUXEMBURG,,LIXTEISTEIN..every time u live like MALISH....they use your country like a condom.....The well-known armenian writer, the citizen of USA, L. Z. Surmalian in his book, "Lady and Gentleman, my appeal is to you", wrote the following:

"The reason of the contradiction between turks and armenians is the continuous cruelty by armenian nationalists in return of Turkish and Azeri nations' humanism, careness and patriotism".

[BahruzS]

@MrSamoorian and i have one perfect question for you....u know you lived 500 years(maybe more) in Turkish bondage..why Turkish didnt make genocide armenian in 1560 or 1680....only Turkish killed armenian 1915 ......do you know Sutcu Imam incident?if you havent answer i can explain to you it....my TURKISH DADDY ARE ATILLA...ALP ARSLAN ,,METE XAN....SHAH ISMAIL,,SULTAN MEHMET,ATATURK,HEYDER ALIYEV....but your?armenian history=lie story....

[BahruzS]

@MrSamoorian and third....do you know first Migration of Peoples with ATILLA....in 5 century Turkish came with Atilla...... from China(Eastern Turkistan) to Roma(which King did it?)..where is the your PROUD HISTORY?.ant against of ELEPHANT?HA HA ,,,MAN....YOU EVERYTIME WANT OUR LAND.....Turkish land.....

[MrSamoorian]

@BahruzS Your ignorance of Western Civilization is surpassed only by your ignorance of your own history. From the moment the Mongol Turks and descendants of the great devil Genghis Khan's westward movement...there has been nothing but death, destruction, rape, enslavement, forcible religious conversions,

wiping out of cultures, cultural expressions, architecture, art, literature. AND,you Turkic savage tribes, converted thousands of ancient Christian Churches into mosques. You are cursed.

[BahruzS]

@MrSamoorian cristian come byzantium to Anatolia. had war with Sasani (Iran goverment)....didnt come to other Asia land.....and 2.knolodge man,,Genghiz not Turkish ,,,,he was mongol...but his big part of his soldieer are Turkish....came to EUrope...Mete Xakan,,,Atilla was Turkish....man,,,,,,europen came asia...when they learnd about Indian seaway (1524 with VAsco Da gama....)...armenian was and are slave today and yesterday.....yesterday you was our slave....but today France,Russian slave....

[MrSamoorian]

@BahruzS Unfortunately the first thing that oppressive conquerers do is the destroy the culture and identity of a nation that they conquered. Language and names are the first things that change.  The Turks changed the names of cities, towns and villages from Armenian to Turkish. They forced Turkish to be taught in the schools.

They cut out the tongues of those who spoke Armenian. Knowing this....you're looking for a "name" or a "museum"? This must be a Turkish joke.

[BahruzS]

@MrSamoorian and in 1920's in armenia have many Turks...not armenian ....armenian then came this area from different place....this is fact....and yuo killed 50-60.000 Azeri Turks in Caucas...in Baku,Guba...because your natioanal ..wants GREAT ARMMENIA FROM ERZURUM TO CASPIAN SEA....GREAT ARMENIA.....go away man.....

[MrSamoorian]

@BahruzS By the 1920s, the Turks had slaughtered, enslaved and forcibly "turkified" and "Islamized" almost five million Greeks, Assyrians, Lazis, Circassians, Armenians, Kurds and Yezidis. They drove them out of their lands and confiscated their homes and properties, and plundered their wealth. They left only the "turkified" and "Islamized" peasants whom them enslaved. This is why you think that there were "many Turks...not armenian".

You are all blind to your ugly history.

[MrSamoorian]

@jafarov1987 I feel pity for you. Your Azeri education comes from the Soviet period. You are ignorant of your own true history. Since your true "Ataturk"...Genghis Khan, you Turks are Mongols. The whole world knows the Mongol Turks as savages, barbarians and destroyers of civilization. Even TODAY in Turkey and Azerbaijan, all Christians, and especially Armenians live in terror of Mongol-Turk bloodthirsty Muslim fanatics! Nowhere are Muslims savages like among the Mongol-Turks.

[jafarov1987]

@MrSamoorian I know my own history better than you. Soviet Republic is part of our history. Soviet education was one of the ladders in our history, nothing more.We had many poets, thinkers in our history. Also Genghis Khan and Ataturk has no any relation to our history. We hate Genghis Khan as you, but will not say the same thing about Ataturk.

[jafarov1987]

@MrSamoorian And if you think that Christians live in terror in Azerbaijan and Turkey, I advice you to go Middle East and see with your own eyes how christians live there. I want to say that I dont hate any Armenian or Christian or Jews. I want to live in peace as we lived in the Soviet Union and respect each others culture. I love music and doesnt matter who composed that music. I will not look to nationalty of the composer.

[BahruzS]

@MrSamoorian Chobaian,,,he was Hajibeyov....you undeerstand his last name?you understand Muratyan,Koceryan,Demirchiyan?­all of them Turkish words.....we arent stolen....like you...you stole our modern musics....and you speak now

[MrSamoorian]

@BahruzS Why are you so afraid that your cruel, savage and hideous ways will be exposed? They already have been exposed in history books ever since the emergence of the Turkic beasts you call your heroes.

With the Turkic influx into Europe and the Americas and elsewhere...there will apparently one day be a vast

Pan-Turanic Empire from Central Asia to Paris and London. Your fear of the future puzzles me.

köroglu destanı bir çok türk toplumunda temel efsanedir. yani çıkış noktası aynı ama gelişimleri farklı.

bu da köroğlu destanına osmanlı destanı diyen angutları göt eder, köroğlu türk destanıdır.

Buna gore de, Turk turke destek olmali, onun yaninda olmali..

@AoD4mylife Bizim dilimiz ve keçmişimiz birdir. Bizi bir birimizə bağlayan din deyil. Ola bilsin ki Türk olaq amma ayri dinlərə inanaq ya inanmayaq. Amma dilimiz və keçmişimiz dəyişik deyil. Buna daha önəm verməliyik ki insanın din inanci dəyişilə bilər amma özü yox ! 

[VasiliyTsekin]

@nigush1988 Первой оперой была, если я не ошибаюсь, "Лейли и Меджнун" Гаджибекова (где-то в 1900-1910г.г.). Потом были "Шах Исмаил" Магомаева, "Ашиг Кериб" Зульфугара Гаджибекова. А "Кёр-оглы", по-моему, только в 30-хг.г. Если ошибаюсь, поправьте

[cagatayto]

köroğlu azerbaycanda da bu kadar ünlü mü ?
