This album was sent to me by Hamid Tabatabai from Holland. I was very impressed with the folk songs performed with the beautiful operatic voice of Mehrnaz Salehi.

Tabatabai began taking piano lessons at the age of nine and has worked with the famous Dutch composer Daan Manneke. Salehi -- an elementary school teacher in Iran and now in Holland -- has dedicated her energy to music for the past five years. Cellist Allard Hartkamp is a student at the Dutch music conservatory and cellist Jamie McLaren is plays with symphony orchestras in Holland.
