Introduction:
The Santur (Persian hammered dulcimer) is a hollow trapezium-shaped closed box over which 72 copper and steel wire strings are stretched from side to side and is struck by 2 wooden hammers (Mezrab) held in the player’s hand. The Santur, which is one of the most popular musical instruments in Iran, has a very clear, high volume and high pitch sound. The repertoire for the Santur is one of the richest in Persian music repertoires.
Among all schools of Santur in Iran, it is believed that Master Faramarz Payvar has contributed significantly in introducing the Santur to the world and has written many astonishing masterpieces for this instrument. Without an introduction to his works and the way he interpreted Persian music, one can hardly have a sound understanding of Persian music in general and the Santur, in particular.
Radif of Chapkook (Advanced Santur Repertoire), which was compiled and composed by Master Payvar in 1979, is one of the most technical and sophisticated works written for the Santur. In this recital, Pejman Azarmina has selected two sub-systems of Shur: Dashti and Afshari and performs them for the first time in a public concert.
