Sirojiddin Juraev

Sirojiddin Juraev is a composer and arranger from Tajikistan, who has created numerous virtuosic pieces for dutar, tanbur, and sato. This album, recorded with the support of the Aga Khan Foundation, led by Karim Aga Khan, the leader of the Ismaili Muslim community, includes both Juraev's original compositions and classical Turkish-Arabic-Persian pieces. Sirojiddin performs the pieces solo, as well as accompanied by Abbos Kosimov (percussion) and Mukstor Muborakkadamov (setar). The musician demonstrates excellent mastery of the dutar. Despite the instrument having only two strings, Juraev manages to extract non-trivial melodies and sounds from it.
