The music by Kazakh composer Akhmet Zhubanov is now available on global streaming platforms. For the first time, a complete collection of the great composer's works for violin and piano has been released as an album. The pieces were performed and recorded in modern audio quality by Akhmet Zhubanov’s great-grandson, violinist Zhangir Zhubanov, and pianist Yernazar Ghimarat. The album marks the beginning of a major effort to revive the legacy of the composer who laid the foundations of professional Kazakh music. The project was launched to mark the 120th anniversary of Akhmet Zhubanov.
«Modern technology, and streaming in particular, can be a way to combine technological innovation with national traditions. For example, I recorded the song Ak Kogershin, composed by Akhmet Zhubanov, which many people now consider a folk song. I believe it is very important for people to know who wrote the song while continuing to perform it and enjoy the music,» said Zhangir Zhubanov, violinist, great-grandson of Akhmet Zhubanov.
