Editorial Reviews
Iranian singer Parissa was forced into lengthy sabbatical when the ayatollahs took over her country in 1979. Under their rule, female singers weren't allowed to perform. It wasn't until 1995 that she returned to the concert stages of the world. For this project she takes the work of the 13th century mystic and poet (and founder of the whirling dervishes) Rumi as the basis for her music. Parissa proves to be a remarkable, sometimes eerie singer, giving to classical Persian vocal improvisations on melodies and themes. She easily captures the listener's attention and holds it. You might not understand the language, but its deeper meanings are quite apparent. Each of the two CDs in the set is a continuous, flowing piece, using the poems not only of Rumi, but of three other mystics -- Hafiz, Sa'di, and Attar -- to create a potent, sometimes magical force of sound and words that easily transcends the everyday in its aim for the stars.
