The theme of the dialogue between the soul and its Creator, so dear to Persian poets, is expressed on every piece of this CD, as music and poetry converge to depict spiritual states. The Shâh Hoseyni suite, the long Sheykh Amiri supplication, and the Mystic Hymns and Dances each convey, in their own way, the infinite variety and degree of the emotional states characteristic of the dialogue with the Beloved.
