- Fikret Amirov (1922, Ganja - 1984, Baku) was a prominent Azerbaijani composer of the Soviet period.
In 1941, when Nazi Germany attacked the USSR, Amirov, 19 at the time, was drafted to the Soviet army. He was wounded near Voronezh, hospitalized and demobilized from the military service, returning to Baku to continue his studies at the Azerbaijan State Conservatoire.
Amirov's music was strongly influenced by Azeri folk melodies. He created a new genre called symphonic mugam. Amirov's symphonic mugams were based on classical folk pieces and were performed by many renowned symphony orchestras throughout the world, such as the Houston Symphony Orchestra conducted by Leopold Stokowski.
Amirov was a prolific composer. His most famous pieces include symphonic works such as "Shur" (1946), Kurd Ovshari (1949), "Azerbaijan Capriccio" (1961), "Gulustan Bayati-Shiraz" (1968), "The Legend of Nasimi" (1977), "To the Memory of the Heroes of the Great National War" (1944), "Double Concerto for Violin, Piano and Orchestra" (1948) etc.
His ballets include "Nizami" (1947) and Arabian Nights, which premiered in 1979. Amirov wrote the opera "Sevil" in 1953.
He also wrote a number of pieces for the piano including "Ballad," "Ashug's Song," "Nocturne," "Humoreska," "Lyrical Dance," "Waltz," "Lullaby" and "Toccata." He also wrote numerous film scores.
In 1940, frequent musical nights and concerts were held in the Azerbaijan State Philharmonic Hall. Fikret Amirov took part in these concerts and became more familiar with the works of Western and Russian composers, and used their musical language. He also attended in the symphonic orchestra exercises.
His pieces was built on folk traditions of Azerbaijan and Middle East. However, the folkloric elements can be identified in them whether they are Azerbaijani or Arabic, as in the case of his ballet “Arabian Nights,” his “Concerto on an Arabian Theme for the Piano and Orchestra” (together with Elmira Nazirova) and “The Song of the Blind Arab”. As the composer used to do a lot of research before starting his pieces, strong folkloric elements can be observed in his compositions. For example, prior to composing his ballet "Arabian Nights," he visited several Arabic countries-Iraq, Yemen and Egypt-and brought back tapes and records. His orchestral suites, based on the style of Azerbaijan Mugams often contain melodies that are reminiscent of Rimsky-Korsakov, Khachaturian and Turkish music. One of his early success outside the USSR was Kyurd Ovsharï suite conducted by Leopold Stokowski.

Azerbaijan has great teachers. Amazing from Argentina.
Great performance of such an Azerbaijani giant musician!
But I would argue that it was Uzeir Hajibeyov (1885-1948), the founder of Azerbaijani classical music and the author of first opera in the muslim world, who set the standards of Azerbaijani Mugham music in terms of classical sound. And later already the composer Khachaturian (as he also used to confess) got influenced and adopted this style. That's also not the news that contemporary professional Turkish musicians cover U. Hajibeyov, K. Karayev, and F. Amirov as the must composers who were the firsts who notated, orchestrated mugham music and created an Azerbaijani peculiar music sound that later influenced the eastern-style composers.
beautiful colorful music, lyrical dance is also my favorite!
He was one of the musical geniuses. Rest in Peace, Fikret Amirov.
Thanks for sharing these beautiful pieces in your channel. Greetings from #Azerbaijan
Thank you so much for sharing!
It feels like music for the 1001 Arabian Night which Amirov also wrote for Ballet.
Beautiful sad melodies with deep feelings, with exotic harmonies and rhythms.
Great playing, beautiful pieces, excellent channel!
thank you!!
When I was a little kid, I played the Lyrical Dance, third minitaure on the list. I remember distinctly that I was fascinated by the usage of first inversion of b minor at 2:57. I didn't know what it was called back then but it was like all the music before that chord made perfect sense when I arrived it. I played that part like tens of times while working on this piece. It had such an effect on me that I wanted to understand why it did make such a perfect sense to me. Now, I am an incorrigible music theory nerd, a composer and an arranger. Thanks a lot Fikret Amirov

So much like Khachaturian. Same idiom.
Khachaturian just copied our musics.He is not founder of this style. This style is Uzeyir Hajibeyov's 😏🇦🇿
@@lonelybutterfly1945 I see.
Aram Khachaturyan and many Hay-Armenian composers had been with Azerbaijani composers for years. This is also no secret to anyone.
Naturally, Azerbaijani music has also influenced professional Armenian music. Thus, A. Khachaturyan, as a composer, was able to understand the specifics of Azerbaijani mughams. In the "History of Music of the Peoples of the USSR" (v.3, M., 1972) it is very clear that in A. Khachaturian's "Gayane" folk music is not only sounded on themes derived from folklore. This music is included in the whole score of the ballet, in all the personal original themes of the composer. İ. Prokhorov and G. Skudina in their work "Soviet musical culture" noted that the Armenianized Azerbaijani dances "Shalakho" and "Uzundere" were widely used in the ballet "Gayane".
Critic G.Khubov, who clearly felt this, wrote that "Khachaturyan, like everyone else, started with a simple analogy" (G.Khubov "Aram Khachaturyan"). A.Khachaturyan, originally from Tbilissi(Georgia), has the following confession:
“I heard my mother, who knew many Hay-Armenian and Azerbaijani songs, sing from my early childhood. No matter how much my musical tastes and knowledge changed and improved later, the initial national basis that I learned from my childhood as a live communication with folk art remained a natural source for my later work.”
(I wrote a little long, but it is necessary for information.)
@@lonelybutterfly1945 Actually, we can't say that he just copied. The things he copied may be specific to Azerbaijani music. However, it would be more correct to say that he was mostly influenced by Azerbaijani composers. This is naturally normal. I also mentioned some information in my comment above.
