From "In a Persian Garden" album sleeve: In the hands of a master player such as Nasser Rastegar-Nejad, the strings of santur, Iran's ancient hammered dulcimer, produce a delicate and passionate music that is the embodiment of Persian culture and sensibility. This evocative and thoroughly authentic recital of five pieces of santur in different scales (or gushe) is a Lyrichord classic -- peerless instrument masterly captured on a sonically superb recording, digitally mastered to exacting specifications.
