Last week,  we have witnessed the death two great musicians: Parviz Meshkatian (the great Persian composer and Virtousi) and Alicia de Larrocha (one of the greatest Pianists of our time). My sincere condolences to the families of both of Parviz Meshkatian and Alicia de Larrocha  and the rest of the Music loving people. I was particularly saddened upon hearing the news of Mr. Meshkatian’s passing as he was quite a young man. I came to know of this news by email from one of the Persian supporters – he was kind enough to send some website links as well so I can post them here for all to see. I’ve been a fan of Meskhkatian since I was a child and I believe Persians have lost a great musician, composer and pioneer in the development and enhancement of Persian Classical Music. Parviz Meskhatian was a great influence on many musicians – including myself. May he and Alicia de Larrocha forever Rest In Peace. Sami
