Ali-Naqi Vaziri

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ali-Naqi Vaziri (1887 – September 9, 1979) was an Iranian musician, composer and tar player.

He was truly well-trained in old style so his play was very similar to that of Mirza Abdollah. Actualy he looked for new dimentions and perspectives in music expression, and for achieving this aim he revolutionized the style of tar playing. He was the first musician who transcribed the classical radif of Persian musice.
