Reviews
Critical Acclaim
Music Magazine
Arashk Azizi – Symphony No. 2 in C Minor, Op. 9 "Esfandiyar": I. "The Wolves" is very cinematic, dark at moment but with full bright side at other parts, like a battle that is unfolding from desperate moments to a victory dance. String parts and brass ones are so amazing, very well placed and arranged.
Music Magazine
Variation on a Persian theme, Op. 5 "Navaei" has one of the most memorable refrains I've heard from a piano piece in a while. There is a nice and steady movement here as well. The piece at no moment feels stagnant or drawn out, the dynamics and transitions are done with ease, making this a pleasant listening experience.
Manuel Ortega
Curator and music critic
An excellent piece masterfully executed by the Iranian-born pianist Arashk Azizi, who endorses and transmits to us that exotic and melancholic touch so characteristic of the first Gnossiennes, a theme that is included in Azizi's most recent album, Piano Adagios, a Highly Recommended for any fan of piano music.

What do you mean by Chopin's performance? Honestly, I was surprised. I doubted my eyes when I saw the title, and then I doubted more after hearing it. What, no, who dares judge this song? It's just perfect and perfect music itself. No other evaluation can be made.

Frédéric Chopin. 'Nocturne No. 20 in C-Sharp Minor, Op. Posth.' Is a classical performance that seems to bring cold autumn rain to my heart. It's a sad and beautiful piano performance that matches the atmosphere with the original song and lets you feel the depth of your emotions vividly.

I think it's been a while since I listened to the piano "Piano Sonata in c minor, Op. 2". I think I fell in love with the piano while listening. I was touched and reminded of the person I love, and I think there were many things that crossed my mind. It wasn't a fast tempo, but it felt like I was being delivered to the listeners.
