Brooklyn Rider and Kayhan Kalhor part 2

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

superb!

This is absolutely fantastic!

hey its one of the mixture of persian and classical

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.

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 ;-)

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!

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.

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.

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.
