kayhan is superb, fantastic and phenomenon.

[rlford1981]

This is nothing short of amazing

[guharup]

really good stuff

[amiralikml]

We dont live in ages ago like

1800s...

There is no need to express about Masters because they are Masters and Instead of telling to listen to masters like Bach or Bahari or whoever ,Just listen to music,I mean is only MUSIC and Dear Nahoft, I think you didnt get the style; this is not the Persian Classical and this is not the Western classical.

This is called FUSION...

I respect to your comment but if we live like this ,i mean without any innovation,where is the place of HUMAN's brain???

[Nahoft]

Kalhoe does not have 0.1% of the intimacy that Asghar Bahary had. Please listen to Bach, Bahary and other world masters before raving about crap like this.

[FRANCESCOLAM]

It's a river of emotion, great kalhor!!

[nimagol]

superb!

[nimagol]

This is absolutely fantastic!

[waitingable]

hey its one of the mixture of persian and classical

[Nahoft]

This is pop music in a classical-wanna-be setting. The music sounds 10% medieval, 30% irish and 60% pop which means all too simplistic. have these people heard Bach solo suites for the cello? :-)

[Ehrerig]

Ah... come on stop acting like an expert...

Who cares if it 's irish or medieval? And as I know pop means popular and this is not pop music.

Just enjoy it

[varmstead]

LOL! THESE guys have premiere classical training-Julliard, Curtis, Eastman, etc, perform with the world's top orchestras, played ALL "classics" BEAUTIFULLY. Not all "classical-Western" musicians can step out of their world and play or compose ANYTHING from ANYWHERE as these musicians can at the drop of a hat. Buy their CD!

[Nahoft]

I was being sarcastic. Of course they have heard of Bach suites, but they are acting as if they haven't. I was hoping you could make the leap. Many members of famous philharmonic orchestras around the globe are doing crappy gigs on the side to add to their income. That is the sad state of music in our time. Masses get to decide what great music is and here's the outcome.

[CuriousAnteaters]

Citing Bach as the epitome of musical development is a ridiculously sure sign of reactionary musical ignorance. There's nothing more tonally complex in the cello suites than in this music. Sure, it's not pushing many boundaries, but belittling it because it smacks of milieu other than that of the Great Western Classical Tradition is bigoted and childish. It's statements like yours, Nahoft, that make the general public hate classical music--and those of us who like it.

[Nahoft]

This music is strings acting as drone background playing the same melody 60 times with fake intimacy poured thru the kamancheh. The rhythm is pop. The drone is simplistic and the solo is fake emotions. It's the sort of melody that makes the average joe, not familiar with composition, excited or emotional. It lacks true intimacy, true action, true energy. It is very FAKE! Bach is not end-all and western music has gone way beyond him, so let's push forward instead of selling out with crap.

[firebreeze]

Methinks Nahoft doth protest too much, considering that he/she continues to revisit this youtube page to spew vitriol. If we're average joes for appreciating this melody, then so be it! Why should we apologize for the pathos this music invokes? Your comments smack of sour grapes, anyway. :)

[Nasser90santour]

I hate negative people like you in YouTube! Instead of giving them credit you write that! :S HOW OLD ARE YOU? Can you do better? And it sounds Persian! Keyhan Kalhor is playing Kamanche and he is from Iran. Listen to Mohammad Reza Shajarian - Album: Zemestan ast and the name of the song is: First movement you will notice how good it is ;-)

[dimcarabasmusic]

You are talking about Medieval, Irish, and pop as if any apply to the middle east. From Greece on to all over the middle east all the music is simplistic. It's not about how complicated a piece is with many notes. It is about the beauty of every hand picked note is. The emotion of cultures that have struggled to stay alive for 2000 years. This is a modern take of music of a foreigner pouring his love for his music and culture out. Kayan Kalhor is arguably the best Kemence musician.

[Ehrerig]

WOW

I'M now an official fan!!

[FRANCESCOLAM]

semplicemente un genio!!!, con lo srumento in mano emozioana. bravo kalhor!!!

[farzadfn]

I get shivers and  goose bumps every time I listen to this....Incredible. Just incredible.

[muhammadrezay]

Perfect!

[victotronics]

Spectacular. Great music and unbelievable integration of the eastern and western instruments.

[SaitFaik54]

Var ol ustad. The Vivaldi of our age rising from the East. The new reneisance?

[nimaccc]

Long Live Kermanshaah

[sfolger1]
