A genius

Strange. Beautiful. Evocative. Both chilling and vibrant. Ms. Ali-Zadeh is the real thing. One of the great composers, she will be known in the future with the greats of Baroque, Classical, and Romantic music. I just got done listening to the Kronos album of her quartets and I am blown away. I can't stop thinking about the music, particularly "Oasis" and "Mugam Sayagi." I hope that we as a culture will not continue to ignore the truly great music of our era.
