Review by Paul Turner

Album Review: Piano Music Of Azerbaijan by Maestro Chingiz Sadykhov Alright, let’s talk about Piano Music Of Azerbaijan. Released back in 2002 on the label 7/8 Music Productions, this album is one of those hidden gems that sneaks up on you when you least expect it. It’s got everything—folk vibes, classical chops, and a touch of modern flair—all wrapped up in Mugham-inspired piano magic. If you’re into music that feels like it’s telling stories without saying a word, this one’s for you. First off, let me just say, Maestro Chingiz Sadykhov knows his way around a piano. The dude doesn’t just play; he paints with sound. And Kutay Derin Kuğay? Dude did double duty as producer and engineer, so props to him for keeping the vibe smooth and clean. Now, there are some tracks here that stick with you long after the album ends. Take “Ana,” for example. That track hits different. Like, you think it’s gonna be all soft and sentimental because of the title (which means "mother" in Azerbaijani), but then BOOM—it builds into this emotional powerhouse. You can almost picture someone sitting under an old tree thinking about life while listening to this. It’s simple yet layered, kinda like your favorite sweater that’s worn out but still perfect. Then there’s “Ilk Bahar.” Oh man, this one slaps. Translating to “first spring,” it’s upbeat but not over-the-top. There’s something about how Sadykhov mixes traditional Azerbaijani melodies with Western classical influences that makes it feel fresh yet familiar. Every time I hear it, I imagine flowers blooming or maybe even a quirky little festival happening somewhere far away. It’s happy music, but not annoyingly so—you know what I mean? What really stands out about this album is how authentic it feels. This isn’t some watered-down version of Azerbaijani culture made palatable for Western ears. No, sir. This is the real deal. Tracks like “Senden Mene Yar Olmaz” and “Esmerim” bring raw emotion and storytelling straight from the heart. They pull you in without trying too hard, which is rare these days. And yeah, okay, maybe the production quality isn’t super flashy or anything, but honestly? That works in its favor. It keeps things grounded, letting the music speak for itself instead of drowning in studio tricks. Here’s the thing though—listening to this album feels like stepping into another world. But not in a cheesy, touristy way. More like…you’re eavesdropping on someone else’s memories. Like finding an old photo album at a flea market and suddenly caring about people you’ve never met. Weird analogy, I know, but hey, that’s art for ya. Oh, random thought: Why don’t more albums come with liner notes anymore? Seriously, Google didn’t even have the full tracklist easily available. Had to dig deep for this info. Just saying. Anyway, if you’re looking for something chill but meaningful, give Piano Music Of Azerbaijan a shot. Who knows? Maybe you’ll end up falling in love with Mugham piano jams too. Or maybe you’ll just find yourself humming “Ilk Bahar” while making coffee tomorrow morning. Either way, win-win.
