About this concert
Amsterdam Sinfonietta is beroemd om zijn grenzeloze avontuurlijkheid en verhalende programma’s. Vanavond laten de musici zich in hun oostwest-verkenning vergezellen door topcellist Kian Soltani. Liefde en opoffering vormen een rode draad in de indrukwekkende composities van Kayhan Kalhor en Fazıl Say en klassiekers van Wagner en Mahler. Meditatieve wereld Blue as the Turquoise Night of Neyshabur werd vooral bekend door de opname van Yo-Yo Ma’s Silkroad Ensemble. Vanavond ontfermt Amsterdam Sinfonietta zich over het enerverende werk van de Iranse componist-kemenchespeler Kayhan Kalhor – die zelf ook meespeelt. Hij creëerde een meditatieve, nachtelijke wereld in een traditionele Perzische stijl met westerse elementen. Ongelukkige liefdesparen Voor Şahmeran liet de Turkse pianist-componist Fazıl Say zich inspireren door de legende van slangenvrouw Şahmeran, een verhaal over liefde en verraad, vooral bekend uit de Koerdische folklore. Dit intrigerende celloconcert – gespeeld door Kian Soltani – is thematisch verbonden met Wagners Tristan und Isolde en Mahlers Vijfde symfonie, composities die op hun eigen manier ongelukkige liefdesparen vertegenwoordigen. Toen Mahler het hartbrekende Adagietto schreef voor zijn symfonie, had hij net in Alma Schindler de liefde van zijn leven gevonden. Die zou niet standhouden.

Kayhan Kalhor Biography
Kayhan Kalhor (Persian: كيهان كلهر), born 1963, is an Iranian kamancheh player of Kurdish descent.
Kayhan Kalhor was born in Tehran. He began studying music at seven years of age. By age thirteen he was playing in the National Orchestra of Radio and Television of Iran. Continuing his music studies under various teachers, he studied in the Persian radif tradition and also travelled to study in the northern part of Khorasan province, where music traditions have Kurdish and Turkic influences as well as Persian. At a musical conservatory in Tehran around age 20 Kalhor worked under the directorship of Mohammad-Reza Lotfi who is from Northern Khorasan. Kalhor also travelled in the northwestern (Kurdish) provinces of Iran. He later moved to Rome and Ottawa to study European classical music.
Kayhan Kalhor has a wide range of musical influences, he uses several musical instruments, and crosses cultural borders with his work, but at his center he is an intense player of the Persian violin. In his playing Kalhor often pins Persian classical music structures to the rich folk modes and melodies of the Kurdish tradition of Iran.
Kalhor has composed works for, and played alongside, the famous Iranian vocalists Mohammad Reza Shajarian (see Masters of Persian Music) and Shahram Nazeri. He has also composed and performed with the Indian sitar player Shujaat Husain Khan, the two forming a ghazal group and publishing several albums. Kalhor's 2004 album Mirror of the Sky was a joint venture with the Kurdish Iranian lute player Ali Akbar Moradi. Kalhor's most recent album The Wind (2006) is a collaboration with the Turkish baglama virtuoso Erdal Erzincan, with both Turkish and Persian pieces performed. At other times Kalhor has collaborated with Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Project Ensemble in the USA and the Kronos Quartet.
Kalhor now resides in USA and has been commercially successful in USA over the past decade (two of his works were nominated for Grammy Awards in 2004).
