Pianist and composer, Arash Behzadi, continues sharing his passion for music with his 2nd album "Aram-e Del II" released 2 years after his first collection of solo piano re-arrangements of Iran's renowned and eternal musical compositions. Aram-e Del's rich and gratifying melodies bring back and rejuvenate the memorable moments of the past and touch the hearts of many people around the world.
Arash's re-arrangement of these everlasting melodies, with his signature romantic touch, reflect his interpretations towards these artistic pieces with an added color and refreshed scent while maintaining the authentic character and integrity of these melodies.
Aram-e Del II includes a new set of eternal and beloved pieces such as Morghe Sahar, Niaz, Tange Ghoroobeh, Darvish, Del Aseereh, Maah, Seeb and many more and tribute to creators of them, which have special meaning to many lovers of Iranian music. This album also includes joyful and happy melodies of two of Arash's own original compositions, "Gazelle's Dance (Raghse Ahoo)" and "Noore Cheshmam". Each track of this album is rooted to deepest emotions of Arash, expressing happiness, nostalgia, romance and hope, during arrangement and performance of these pieces.
Music is the soundtrack of Arash's life and his emotional pieces do everything from adding serenity to listener's hearts and souls, captivating people falling in love, easing the pains, and bringing back sweet or nostalgic memories. It's amazing to imagine what lasting effects a simple melody can have on emotions and lives.
You find a familiar and pleasant sentiment, listening to this soothing music. Memories begin to fly into your thoughts, listening to "Aram-e-Del". Mesmerizing feeling of those walks on the streets of Tehran, with lingering rain falling from the purple sky, with those warm hands which wouldn’t depart from yours, Sing-along moments with friends, or just evading to the heights of the Alborz mountain to love, the highlights of our lives. Music of Arash Behzadi lays a hand on deepest part of your soul and for that, I am so grateful that I got the chance to listen to it, and listen to it over and over again.

I am not familiar with Persian music like most. I've had the honor of growing up with classical and international music via my dads love of music. In listening to Aram-e Del, it brought such a warmth to my heart and a joy to my ears. This music is so beautiful and calming. I truly find a zen in hearing it.
