Albanian classical memories in a CD

TIRANA, Jan. 27 – The best of Albania’s classical music compositions during the country’s communist regime have been promoted in a CD by internationally renowned Albanian violinist Klajdi Sahat詠and pianist Dhurata Lazo.
Violinist Sahat詬 who is the first Concertmaster of Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich, and Lazo who has an international agenda with piano concerts, performed some of the CD compositions in Tirana last weekend at a launch ceremony at the Ministry of Culture premises.
“Albanian Memories” is the first serious attempt to introduce the Albanian past memories through the musical sound, perceived through some original musical creations of a group of Albanian composers like Pjeter Gaci, Albert Paparisto, Feim Ibrahimi, Eriona Rushiti, Cesk Zadeja, Rafet Rudi, Nikolla Zoraqi, Aleksander Peci and Thoma Simaku. The carefully selected musical pieces date back from the mid-twentieth century, until the 1990s, on the verge of the opening of Communist Albania to the west,” say the artists.
