According to MUSIQI MA news-analytical site, Abolhassan Saba’s RADIF (first violin period) was published by Mahour Cultural and Artistic Institute with performance of Elmira Mardaneh and accompaniment of Hamid Reza Borzoi’s TOMBAK.
Regarding this work by Elmira Mardaneh, we read: “a brief review of the history of violin and fiddle in Iran shows integrity of these two instruments, both in the category of works and the educational system and in the category of playing. This is so much that the masters and musicians of fiddle, in addition to the specialized field of fiddle, have passed through the passage of works that were designed and presented in Iran for violin and left audio works, and worked for their better performance and understanding. Earlier, the audio sample of Abolhassan Saba’s RADIF has been recorded with performance of Rahmatullah Badiee’s violin. But since familiarity with his collection and performance is unique for KAMANCHEH musicians, in this work, the first period of Abolhassan Saba’s RADIF has been recorded for violin with KAMANCHEH.
