MORTAZAVI, Alireza:

   Born in Isfahan (1976). His childhood was dedicated to mastering the Santur. He was recognized from an early age and was awarded prizes at important national contests. Later on he went beyond the given boundaries of his own musical tradition, where even interpretations are played according to rigorous rules.
   Alireza's growing awareness of the western traditions during his stay in Germany and Italy, has extensively widened his musical horizons. The atmosphere Mortazavi creates with the Santur is a music of the soul.
