Virtuousity, but no musicality. The improvisations meandered, without any structure. The artists were perfunctory in acknowledging the audience. It would have helped if Kalhor had provided some commentary - he speaks excellent English. Many of us were mystified when the performance ended after 70 minutes - we had expected an intermission. A disappointment.

I discovered Kayhan Kalhor through his collaborations with Indian sitarist Shuajaat Hussain Khan. I was privileged to see him perform with the Masters of Persian Music at GWU Lisner Auditorium. I look forward to this fusion of Persian and Turkish music.
