This is my first CD review, but I ran into this gem of a CD at a friend's house and was taken by its comforting beauty. I felt this CD needed to be heard by more people. I owe this review to both those contemplating buying this CD and Reza Ganjavi who delivered this delightful work. I am not a student of classical guitar, but, neither am I a neophite. This is unlike any other compilation of guitar pieces that I have heard. The pieces seem to flow into each other, and much too soon, the CD has ended. I have not been exposed to these pieces before, but they left me wanting more.

I was able to find Ganjavi's second CD "Dancing Hands". The music was somewhat different, being more familiar to me with arrangements that included a variety of accompanying instruments, but was equally enchanting. It is a great complement to "In Friendship".

Thank you Mr. Ganjavi, I am waiting for more!

I heard the cd at their house a month ago and liked it a lot. I was trying to find more about it – I was looking for it…  Matt L

You aren’t going to believe this, but a few weeks ago my wife and I went to dinner at a friend’s house and got introduced to a remarkable CD from “some guy in Australia” named Reza Ganjavi.  I wanted to find out where to find the CD and could not find it in stores or in the usual on line suppliers.  A few days ago, my friend showed me the CD case, and imagine my surprise!  Do you have a twin?  I did find it on the internet on the Swiss (I think)  site, but I can’t figure out how to order it, there is no price.  There must be a great story here.  I would love to get both of the CDs.  How do I order them?

My gut says Reza is not your twin, but there is an awful lot to that fascinating man I met last week. Matt L.
