If you missed Morning Light host Michael Wolch's exclusive interview with New York pianist Tara Kamangar listen here:

Recorded on The Scoring Stage at Skywalker Sound by producer and Grammy® winning engineer Leslie Ann Jones, the album explores the musical connection between the countries from Russia to Iran. There has been a considerable interchange of musical inspiration in this region, given that the Caucasus was under Persian rule until as recently as the mid-nineteenth century. Tara juxtaposes works by Russian composers influenced by folk music from the Caucasus, with rarely performed pieces by Iranian, Armenian, and Tajik composers born in twentieth-century Iran.

Here is a sample of what to expect on the CD: http://bit.ly/1hQLVkX
