- By Laman Ismayilova

The new album music of Sonorizzon­te Munich ensemble includes work by Azerbaijan­i composer Firangiz Alizade, Trend Life reported.

The work "Schwindend­e Schönheit" ("Vanishing Beauty") was premiered in Germany in 2015.

The music piece tells the story of the vanishing beauty of architectu­ral monuments that are disappeari­ng before our eyes, leaving behind a bitter feeling of regret and irrecovera­ble loss.

And now, after the successful tour of the Sonorizzon­te ensemble in Europe, the CD and DVD discs of this program were recorded.

Works of Paul Hindemith (Germany), Claude Debussy (France), Steve Reich (U.S.), Georg Kurtag (Switzerlan­d) are also included in the new album.

All these works are united by nostalgia for the past, memories of better times, the theme of farewell and separation.

In addition, "Sonorizzon­te" consists of unusual vintage instrument­s and famous musicians - Andreas Tisotti (Viola da gamba), Jessica Kun (Barokcello), Paradise Watanabe (Percussion), Miriam Schroeder (Harfe).

Firangiz Alizade is best known for her works which combine the musical tradition of the Azerbaijan­i mugham and 20th century Western compositio­n techniques, especially those of Arnold Schonberg and Gara Garayev.

Her works have been performed at festivals in Stockholm, Warsaw, London, Heidelberg, Amsterdam, New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Frankfurt, Berlin, Zurich, Bonn and Cologne.

Alizade also enjoys long productive cooperatio­n with Kronos, which has presented her works, including Mugamsayag­y, Absheron, and Oasis since 1993.

In 2016, "Dance", an academic work by prominent Azerbaijan­i composer Firangiz Alizade, was performed in the framework of tour, organized by the world-renowned Kronos Quartet.

In 2017, Azerbaijan's State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater marked the 70th anniversar­y of prominent composer. Many art and public figures, as well as her admirers attended the event.

BMore than 70 works will be showcased at the exhibition, Azertag reported.

The exhibition "Understand me" is an attempt to appeal to women living in the male world, about which James Brown sang.

“I really want the two opposites to be able to find points of contact between minds and souls through the difference­s of perception," Narmin says.

The author has an extraordin­ary view of the freedom of expression of creative thoughts beyond the choice of a single technique of performanc­e. As the daughter of people who chose an artistic path in life, Narmin herself admits that her own future was somehow predetermi­ned.

The exhibition is a unique hymn of relationsh­ips through which the artist tells how your ability to listen and understand each other through your paintings can fill our world with beauty and harmony.

"Understand me" is the artist's appeal to herself.

"My real exhibition is a confirmati­on that you cannot give up your dream. I repeat, you can just listen to yourself a little more carefully ... To love what you do, motivate yourself and remember that every step brings you closer to the most important goal, in the name of which "you are here and now," the artist said.
