Farid Farjad (Script error: The function "langx" does not exist.; born 1938) is a Persian-born[1] American citizen[2] violin virtuoso. He is known as "the man who made the violin cry"[3][4] and is considered one of the best violin virtuosos in the world.[5][6][not in citation given]
Life
Farjad was born in Tehran, in Pahlavi Iran, in 1938.[7] He began playing the violin at the age of 8.[8][not in citation given] In 1966, he completed his master's degree in classical music at the Tehran Conservatory of Music, and in his next step, he undertook important duties in the Tehran Symphony Orchestra.[9][dead link] Farjad, who has knowledge of Persian folk music, also worked on classical western music with the violin. These works have played an important role in the development of Persian music.
Farjad left his country before the Iranian Revolution in 1979 and settled in California,[7] later becoming a U.S. citizen. After the revolution, music was declared "haram" and banned in Iran; Farjad and many other Persian musicians were banned from entering the country.[10] Although he has lived in Los Angeles for years,[11] he continues to describe himself as Iranian[7] and Persian[1] rather than American.
Farjad has an album series consisting of five albums called Anroozha (Those Days)[12] which he created using only piano and violin.[13] In addition, two collective albums called Golha Orchestra are among the artist's works. In these albums, Farjad, in his own words, put the sadness in nature into notes. He stated that one of the reasons for the formation of his albums in this direction was that he was away from his country after the revolution and had to live far from his country.[11]
In the first four albums of the Anroozha series, Farjad was accompanied by Abdi Yamini on the piano, and in the fifth album, his wife Mitra Tavakkoli Farjad accompanied him on the piano.
