I just was curious to know if other people also enjoy irannian classic music. This is a ‘3 tar’ from a geinous musician.

We did the same thing at a summer school and it was fun.👌👍 ---

Beautiful! I’m going to go and download some more now. Any other recommendations? ---

Awesome, well I definitely recommend Mohammad Reza and Homayoun Shajarian (father and son) which are the most famous singers, Mohammadreza unfortunately passed away recently, people here really love them.

Thanks @Ziaeemehr, this is very beautiful music, and what a great use of the #social category! I’m useless to give any advice on German classical music, but here’s a German artist I really like, seeing him live on stage is quite an experience (or was, you know, when concerts were still a thing…) https://www.youtube.com/embed/xih8aiacRSk?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque&list=LL-6YcKcu27V8SqbCFd2UVJA It’s partly Piano, partly Electro, but I especially love the minimalistic piece “Hammers” at 39:50. ---

I can do the German one for you Marcel, this is one of my favourite composers. [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/brian/original/1X/d338c0d9d4657e741edc2c758e0bf2b48b93c628.jpeg "Hildegard von Bingen - Voices of Angels - Voices of Ascension") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6qFCYRQKVA) Yeah, it’s all been downhill since the 12th century. Here’s the best that England can do (16th century because sometimes I like to listen to something a bit more modern): 😉 [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/brian/original/1X/fd3bd8e564dcc96f7948fb4412ad492e8107d10f.jpeg "William Byrd: Mass for 4 Voices, The King's Singers") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXeT2HWpwc4) ---

> [@dan](#): > > Yeah, it’s all been downhill since the 12th century. Hildegard von Bingen is not too bad but I cannot take anyone serious who places the peak of German music at any point before Bach 😉 ---

It strikes me that Nils Frahm’s style is more similar to the repetitive, trance-like Iranian music than to the European classics. I’ve another central Asian favourite that fits into this category: [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NnvZ7Yb5OE) > [@Ziaeemehr](#): > > “Santure” which originally iranian instrument and I am learning to play Interesting! The dulcimer is a common instrument in Swiss folk music, too, although I always find it frustratingly difficult to find good representations on youtube. Here’s a passable piece: [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/brian/original/1X/15f95995ec23cf004377099d211da858ec7c4b81.jpeg "Jungstriichmusig Alder mit Nicolas Senn - Die Pfiifestier") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVQ63Sf7iWo) ---

This thread is great - loving it! Marcel, I think I’m unusual amongst mathematicians in not particularly liking Bach. ---

This is an interesting thread, let me present some Indian classical instrumental music also known as carnatic music U Srinivas is considered a maestro in mandolin and was a child prodigy who was self taught. He is referred to as the Mozart of Indian classical music. Kaliyugavaradan: This was also featured in the movie Eat,pray and love [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaLLMP1ijnk) Thillana is a form of rhythmic piece in Indian Carnatic music and is used in classical dance performances.
