From Land of Fire 
Chamber Music works by Khadija Zeynalova

Ensemble Bridge of Sound

Catalog number 21117

A Co-production with Deutschlandfunk

"Many of my chamber music compositions are inspired by nature and, often hostile, forces of nature of my homeland Azerbaijan, without embodying 'tone-painting' in the true sense of the word. Myths often form the background of my works, myths that at the same time build an obvious bridge between the Caucasus region and Central Europe". Khadija Zeynalova

"Uneven Sky is about home, the multitudes of homes, and it was made with lots of optimism and love. Syria may not be on the cover of this album but it is present in every detail of the music, and certainly in my heart." Kinan Azmeh

"Home is ever-present and elusive. There and here. Then and now. Lost and found. Listening to this album, we find both the search for home and home itself." Ara Guzelimian
