One may not often see links between the cultures of Norway and Azerbaijan (okay, you’ve got me – none ever crossed my mind!),
but the excellent pairing of Norwegian violinist Eldbjørg Hemsing and Azerbaijani pianist Nargiz Aliyarova
made a compelling case for just such connections this week at Bruno Walter Auditorium.
Playing works of Ali-Zadeh, Garayev, and Melikov from Azerbaijan, and Brustad and Grieg from Norway –
along with a Prokofiev opening – they gave a uniquely stimulating recital entitled “From East to West.” The program was subtitled,
“Prokofiev Violin Sonata No. 2 and Works from Azerbaijan and Norway,” but the Russian role in the evening’s theme seemed to be that
of a musical bridge (alluded to in Dr. Aliyarova’s comments about the influence of Russian teachers on both performers and their chosen composers).

Interview by Rorianne Schrade for New York Concert Review Inc.
The first Azerbaijan song I ever heard was ersatz Azerbaijani. Luciano Berio’s final section of Folk Songs is called “Azerbaijan Love Song”. But Cathy Berberian, coming from neighboring Armenia, said that neither she not Berio hadn’t the slightest idea whether the words came from Azerbaijan or not.
“Luciano liked the sounds, so we copied them down. But never knew anybody from the country, so the words were just nonsense.”
They should have waited a few years. Baku‑born, Baku‑trained and New York resident Nargiz Aliyarova has championed the music of her home, just as her piano recitals have championed Chopin, Mozart and the rest of the classics. Not only that but Ms. Aliyarova last night demonstrated a singular open‑hearted feeling for all the suffering people of her region.
Norwegian violinist Eldbjørg Hemsing is a new face on the New York scene.
Her recital Wednesday night in the Bruno Walter Auditorium had the satisfaction
of hearing a fine, new artistic voice in full maturity.
The concert was presented by the National Music and Global Culture Society,
an organization that brings together music from differing backgrounds around the world.
Hemsing played with Azerbaijani pianist Nargiz Aliyarova, the organization’s founder and president,
performed two standard violin sonatas from and, befitting the NMGCS mission,
nationalist music from their respective countries of origin.

Interview by Rorianne Schrade for New York Concert Review Inc.
A spectacular concert dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic was held in Lincoln Center in New York.
The concert was organized by the National Music and Global Culture Society, whose founder and president is the renowned pianist,
Honored Artist of Azerbaijan, laureate of international competitions, Professor Nargiz Aliyarova, Azertag reported.
This was the first event held by this society, whose purpose is to spread the music of different peoples.
"I am very glad that our first project is dedicated to Azerbaijani music.
Our goal is to show the diversity and uniqueness of our music.
The concert is attended not only by Azerbaijani musicians, but also by artists from different countries who perform national music and compositions of Azerbaijani composers,"
Aliyarova said.
-Interview by Laman Ismayilova for AzerNews
De Azerbeidzjaanse pianiste, musicologe en filosofe Nargiz Aliyarova (Bakoe, 1968) breidde in de afgelopen tien jaar haar werkterrein uit naar West-Europa.
Het eenvoudige booklet van dit Chopin-album voorziet in Engels-, Frans- en Duitstalige teksten.
Zo lezen we een muziekhistorische toelichting (geschreven door Aliyarova zelf?
Dat staat er niet bij) en een biografie die vermeldt dat de pianiste in een gezin van ‘intelligentsia’ werd geboren.
Maar eigenlijk hebben we die informatie niet nodig om te concluderen dat ze opmerkelijk weldoordacht, ja intellectueel met haar interpretaties omspringt.
-Interview by Marghareta Coornstra for Pianist magazine nr. 3, oktober 2015
"Music ought to touch people's hearts," Johann Sebastian Bach said.
These words spontaneously come to mind when you listen to the piano brilliantly played by Nargiz Aliyarova, Ph.D., professor of the Baku Academy of Music, Honoured Artist of Azerbaijan.
Perhaps you will not hear such a free, dynamic and inspiring interpretation of Chopin's works anywhere else.
Despite her busy schedule, Nargiz found the time to tell us about herself and her live performances.
-Interview by REGION plus
We passed through a very academic programme, where we had to perform Bach for every academic examination, and our education was certainly not limited to Russian composers.
We studied such composers as Mozart, Beethoven, and Haydn, and learned the entire classical repertoire, including works from the schools of romanticism and impressionism,
but we had a particularly good sense of Russian and Azerbaijani composers.Our teachers were the former students of Russian professors, our approach was purely Russian, and the benchmark was fortunately very high.
-Interview by TEAS / The European Azerbaijan Society magazine
Nargiz Aliyarova, one of Azerbaijan's most brilliant musical talents - piano - has made a name for herself both at home and abroad as her talent has been celebrated the world over.Listening to Chopin’s incredible masterpieces since her childhood, Nargiz like a sponge, has sucked in every note from his wonderful works,using the master's work to develop her own musical taste and talent.
-Interview by Amina Nazarli for AzerNews
Publication of my CD in Belgium by Et'cetera, one of the Europe's leading record company is a very big event in my creative career,
and I hope that this fact is also a positive factor in promoting the Azerbaijani musical culture in general.Nargiz Aliyarova has fruitfully worked throughout her musical career.In 2008 she won the II place and the winner title at the 11th International Competition named after Pietro Argento in Italy.
-Interview by JAZZ DÜNYASI magazine
Исполнитель не просто затрагивает человека, он требует, чтобы тот участвовал в процессе.Если того не происходит, нельзя винить публику в том, что она не разбирается в хорошей музыке.Я всегда чувствую, если кто-то из зрителей «отсутствует» и всегда думаю, что я не сделала, что не смогла привлечь к творчеству.Если быть точным: отдавши, получаешь. И в жизни тоже так. Просто на сцене все происходит сиюминутно, в большой временной концентрации.Я все это делаю не потому, что считаю, что так хорошо играю. Все потому, что я это очень люблю.
-Interview by AZƏRBAYCAN QADINI
На днях в зале камерной и органной музыки (Кирхе) состоялся концерт фортепианного трио, в состав которого входят заслуженные артисты Наргиз Алиярова (фортепиано),Тофха Бабаева (скрипка) и Сабина Ибрагимова (виолончель).Ежемесячные концерты настолько полюбились бакинской аудитории, что каждый раз в зале можно видеть аншлаг.Бакинцы и гости столицы приходят на вечера классической музыки вместе с детьми, что особенно приятно, ведь прививать любовь к прекрасному нужно именно с детства.
-Interview by Rustam Gasimov for ANN
Чтобы затронуть сердца слушателей и остаться в них навсегда, музыкальное произведение должно быть не только мастерски написано, но и виртуозно исполнено.Потрясающий профессионализм исполнительского мастерства был продемонстрирован на концерте,который прошел в Зале камерной и органной музыки Азербайджанской государственной филармонии имени Муслима Магомаева в Баку.
-Interview by Jani Babayeva for Trend Life
Своим мнением на эту тему поделилась с корреспондентом ANN.Az известная пианистка, заслуженная артистка Азербайджана Наргиз Алиярова,а также рассказала о своей карьере и перспективах развития классической музыки в нашей стране. Представляем вашему вниманию это видео интервью:- Стать пианисткой - это ваш выбор , или веление судьбы?- Вы знаете, мне трудно ответить на этот вопрос. Мне было пять лет, когда я начала заниматься мызыкой.С тех пор, как я помню себя я хотела стать пианистом.
-Interview by Rustam Gasimov for Anntv.az
Зал старинной Кирхи… Со сцены льются нежные звуки музыки…Строгий черный рояль, нежно-розовое воздушное платье, и женские руки, словно пара белых лебединых крыльев,легко взлетающие в воздух и едва касающиеся клавиш… Кажется, что сейчас они воспарят над роялем,а музыка польется сама собой и клавиши подхватят Божественные звуки…Именно такой я увидела заслуженную артистку Азербайджанской Республики Наргиз Алиярову.
-Interview by Afet Islam for Vesti.az
Имя профессора Бакинской музыкальной академии, заслуженной артистки республики, доктора философии,лауреата международного конкурса Наргиз Алияровой знакомо поклонникам классической музыки не только в Азербайджане, но и за его пределами.В феврале этого года бельгийская звукозаписывающая компания Etcetera, специализирующаяся в сфере классической музыки,выпустила диск с произведениями Шопена в исполнении Алияровой.
-Interview by FURROR magazine
Победить в Европе не так-то легко. Угодить европейскому жюри совсем непросто.Вдвойне приятно, что мы обошли и итальянцев и россиян, которые славятся виртуозным исполнением и великолепной школой.А исполняли мы Моцарта, Шопена и Арифа Меликова.Перед конкурсом все участники сдавали ноты жюри, которые после просмотра возвращались исполнителям.Нам вернули все ноты, кроме «Скерцо» Арифа Меликова.Позднее выяснилось, что им очень понравилась азербайджанская музыка, и ноты они оставили себе…
-Interview by 1NEWS.AZ
И.С.Бах как-то сказал: "Цель музыки - трогать сердца".Эти слова отчетливо начинаешь понимать, присутствуя на концертах с участием заслуженной артистки Азербайджана, профессора Бакинской музыкальной академии,доктора философии Наргиз Алияровой.После ее выступления трудно удержаться, чтобы не встать, и, стараясь аплодировать громче остальных, не выкрикнуть "брависсимо!".Музыка в исполнении заслуженной артистки плавно вкрадывается в душу, очищая мысли от мирских забот и тревог.
-Interview by Mamed Mamedov for Day.az
Я сообщаю эту новость с удовольствием и гордостью, ведь речь идет о подлинном искусстве, очищающем душу!Всемирно известная бельгийская звукозаписывающая компания Etcetera, специализирующаяся на издании дисков с записями классической музыки,выпустила альбом профессора Бакинской музыкальной академии, заслуженной артистки Азербайджана Наргиз Алияровой,составленный из произведений Шопена.

I first encountered this marvellous performing artist during a concert co-organised by the Azerbaijani embassy in France and the France-Azerbaijan Dialogue Association (ADFA).
Her musical performance was so breathtakingly beautiful that the audience got transfixed by her melodies.
