Chun-een Goft Zartosht (چنین گفت زرتشت) is an orchestral composition by the renowned Iranian conductor and composer Ali Rahbari. The piece is deeply inspired by Persian culture and the teachings of the ancient Iranian prophet Zarathustra. Unlike Richard Strauss's famous tone poem of the same name, Rahbari's composition incorporates elements of Persian traditional music and Zoroastrian philosophy.

The composition includes vocals by Reza Fekri (رضا فکری), an acclaimed Iranian singer known for his powerful renditions of classical Persian works. His voice enhances the philosophical and spiritual depth of the piece, bringing Zarathustra's ancient teachings to life.

Performances

One of the notable performances of this work took place during the Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra's "Red Cycle" concert series. This performance, which also featured traditional Persian music, took place in Zagreb, Croatia in 2022 and received critical acclaim. (Tehran Times)

Another performance of the piece is scheduled at the Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg, for March 22, 2024. Ali Rahbari himself conducted this performance, continuing to showcase this unique fusion of Persian and Western classical music.
