Masters of Persian Music
Persian classical music goes back more than 2,000 years, predating Islam. Maybe that’s why it has had such a rocky relationship with the dominant religion over the years. Curtis Fox traces the renaissance of Persian classical music back to the Revolution of 1979, when nobody knew if music itself would survive.
