Azerbaijani composer Uzeyir Hajibeyov (1885-1948)

[Alan Howe]

I just don't think it works - nor can it, in my view. And, to be honest, I'm just not interested enough in it. So, I'll leave this to those who are. Apologies for the cop-out!

A 6-CD boxset of music by Azerbaijani composers was released in Azerbaijan many years ago called "THE CLASSICAL MUSIC OF AZERBAIJAN: Symphonic; Ballet; Concerto; Piano; Opera; Chamber", but it is now "out of print" and unavailable. 

There is a small amount of Uzeyir Hajibeyov's music on it, as well as that of another composer who falls into our date range - Muslim Magomayev (also spelt Maqomayev, 1885-1937).  The majority of the set, however, contains music by more modern composers, hence I have not put this into the Downloads section.

The pieces are:

Uzeyir HAJIBEYOV (1885-1948):
opera - Koroglu (The Blind Man's Son) (1913): Koroglu Overture; Nigar's Aria, First Act-Garina Karimova; Nigar's Aria, Second Act-Garina Karimova; Song of the Khananda (Singer)-Safura Azimi; Dance from the Third Act, Jangi (Warrior);  Arshin Mal Alan (The Cloth Peddler) (1913): Askar's Aria - Ulgar Muradov

solo piano - Sansiz (1941) (Tamilla Guliyeva, piano)
chamber - Arazbari (1928); Ashugsayaghi (1931)

Muslim MAGOMAYEV (1885-1937):
opera - Shah Ismayil (1916): Overture; Aslan Shah's Aria - Mukhtar Malikov
opera - Nargiz (1935): Nargiz's Aria - Garina Karimova
