“... spirited work, highly dramatic, and richly embellished ...”Cliff Furnald, Dirty Linen April/May 1994

Overview

Hamnava'i is a highly energetic and alive piece. The title Hamnava'i, which means "becoming one in musical expression", implies a special emotional relationship among the three performers. It is the product of a meeting of individual virtuosity and group harmony. It incorporates complex rhythmic structures and features experiments with new principles of polyphony in Persian music.
