Á Mengi 1. nóvember verða útgáfutónleikar fyrir plötuna Sjórinn bak við gler, einleikur á píanó.
Hluti af tónleikum verður upplestur ljóða á persnesku en þetta verður verk skálda frá 20. öldinni - Ahmad Shamlu, Sohrab Sepehri, Reza Baraheni, Mohammad-Reza Shafiei Kadkani, Fereydoon Moshiri, Mehdi Akhavan Sales.
Ég er þakklátur fyrir aðstoð vina minna sem hafa valið þessi ljóð og tekið þau upp fyrir okkur:
Ljóðin:
Reza Baraheni - Niamad (Það kom ekki)
Mohammad Reza Shafiei Kadkani - Shadi (Hamingja)
Sohrab Sepehri - Khaneye dust kojast? (Hvar er hús vinarins?)
Sohrab Sepehri - Vaheye lahzeh (Vin augnabliks)
Ahmad Shamlu - Ashk razist, labkhand razist, eshgh razist (Tár er leyndardómur, bros leyndardómur, ást leyndardómur)
Fereydoon Moshiri - Gorg (Úlfur)
Mehdi Akhavan Sales - Padeshah fasleha, payiz (Haust, kóngur árstíðanna)
Annað:
Á síða ubuweb um Forough Farrokhzad má heyra upptökur af henni á Radio Tehran frá því um 1960 þar sem hún les eigin ljóð.
Ahmad Shamlu les Ruzegar gharibist nazanin (Einkennilegir tímar, ástin mín).
Nokkrar ljóðaþýðingar mínar af persnesku á ensku.
On November 1 at Mengi will be a release party for my latest cd Sjórinn bak við gler (The sea behind glass), a set of piano improvisations.
Part of the performance will be some 20th century Iranian poetry in Persian - Ahmad Shamlu, Sohrab Sepehri, Reza Baraheni, Mohammad-Reza Shafiei Kadkani, Fereydoon Moshiri, Mehdi Akhavan Sales.
