| 中东鼓王子 —（默罕默德·瑞萨·莫塔萨维）/ 伊朗 |
 默罕默德·瑞萨·莫塔萨维在十岁的时候就赢得了伊朗只有最优秀的职业艺术家才能参加的中东鼓比赛。在接下来的几年里，他屡屡赢得各种比赛冠军，20岁时就被人认为是世界上最好的中东鼓鼓手。他发扬并发展了中东鼓的传统打法。德黑兰的观众为他着迷，他的演奏会常常是座无虚席。 22岁时莫塔萨维到德国演出并取得巨大成功。2003年，他从600位艺术家中脱颖而出，当选为德国世界音乐大奖RUTH的年度最佳新人。2010年他成功地在柏林爱乐音乐厅举行个人演奏会，成为他事业的里程碑。 世界著名媒体，如BBC，美国之声等都给予他极高的评价。他多次在欧洲最重要的世界音乐节WOMEX、Womad等上演精彩演出，是所有鼓手的偶像。 Mohammad Reza Mortazavi won the annual Iranian Tombak competition, in which only the country’s best musicians are allowed to participate, for the first time when he was 10 years old. In the following years he continued to win this competition and at the age of just 20 was considered by many as the world’s best Tombak player. In the course of his career he developed over 30 new striking and finger techniques and revolutionised the traditional way of playing – not always to the joy of the old masters. The audience in Teheran was delighted and his concerts were regularly sold out. At the age of 22 the musician travelled to Germany for the first time and performed with great success in Munich. In 2003 he received the German World Music Award RUTH in the newcomers’ category – as one of over 600 candidates. His concert successes were crowned by a solo concert he gave at the Philharmonie in Berlin in March 2010. He has received consistent positive coverage in the form of concert reviews, media portraits and features in media ranging from BBC/Persian TV, arte, ARD, ZDF, ORF, 3Sat, BR and NDR to Voice of America. Furthermore, in 2011 he was invited to Europe’s most important World Music Fair – WOMEX 11 in Copenhagen – to present his music in a showcase. |
