Gorgeous, restorative duets by a French singer and Iranian instrumentalist/ singer, taking a highly personal, affective approach to the traditional radif repertoire established by Ostad Abdollah Davami. Ecstatic, sensual ghazals from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries: 'You gave me away free,' she chides. 'I wouldn't take the world for a single hair from your head.' Two sides triumphantly add organ and harmonium, bendir and n'goni. The performances are considered and expert enough, but with a have-a-go freshness and emotional truth, without snoot or prettification. Wonderful artwork by Gwénola Carrère. A magical record.
