All of the composers here combine elements of ancient\nAzerbaijani tradition with Western forms, colorful orchestration\nand vivid musical storytelling. This is epitomized in Vasif\nAdigezalovs symphonically proportioned Fourth Piano Concerto, while\nFikret Amirov adds a touch of Arabian exoticism into his Concerto.\nThe bubbling energy of Tofig Guliyevs Gaytagi dance adds a splash\nof jazz, and Farhad Badalbeylis works depict The Sea in an\nexpansive and atmospheric score, followed by the sad tale of the\ncity of Shusha expressed in a vocalise.
