Enigmatic Heart Reviews

piano"Unwritten Letter" is the fourth in a series of stunning pieces composed in a classical style by Iranian/Canadian composer Fariborz Lachini. Darkly beautiful and compellingly honest, this piano solo seems to speak of tragic loss and grief. Many composers manipulate the listener with over-the-top theatrics, but Lachini composes from an inner place that expresses only the truth. The piece feels like it could have been composed late at night, perhaps by candlelight or the light of the moon, when reflection is the deepest and emotions flow freely. The piece is not without hope, but the mood is definitely somber and pensive. While Lachinis playing style is not flashy, his expressive touch perfectly conveys the wide range of emotions and human experiences he incorporates into his music. With the world in such a troubled state, Lachini makes it clear that people of different cultures share the same emotions and feel the same pain and joy, again demonstrating what a unifying force music can be.

piano"Unwritten Letter"s melodic magnificence will take your breath away. Never will you experience a work, played with such lightness, but be so weighty with emotions. It has a nostalgia about it that enthralls the mind and allows the listener to think past the current moment, and truly relate to the music. Like so many other Lachini masterpieces, this song allows the listener to relate spiritually to every note, and effectively conveys the mood of the song. It spawns a subtle rapture, a musical form of love at first site, and proves to be a beautiful work of art.

pianoIt's almost startling how Lachini is able to pin down moods so rawly and still somehow make it musically engaging to listen to -- and that's without ever being stifling or stuffy. But he's done it again here with "Unwritten Letter," a composition that uses piano as practically its own voice in the piece. Score one for composers who can use instruments as their lyrics without ever saying a word.
