Murad Huseynov, piano Filmed in Shusha in October 2023, and in the Heydar Aliyev Center, Baku, in December 2023. Written and directed by Michel Swierczewski The city of Shusha is often considered the cradle of Azerbaijan's music and poetry and one of the leading centres of the Azerbaijani culture, having been declared the cultural capital of Azerbaijan in January 2021. The city is particularly renowned for its traditional Azerbaijani genre of vocal and instrumental arts called mugham. For the Azerbaijanis, Shusha is the "conservatoire of the Caucasus".
Khurshidbanu Natavan, Azerbaijan's most famous woman poet, composer Uzeyir Hajibeyov, opera singer Bulbul and one of Azerbaijan's first twentieth-century novelists, Yusif Vezir Chemenzeminli, were born there. Molla Panah Vagif, a prominent Azerbaijani poet and vizier of the Karabakh khanate, lived and died in Shusha. Through the discovery of rarely performed piano works by Azerbaijani composers, Murad Huseynov's mind takes us on a musical journey between past and present times forming the cultural basis for the city's renaissance.
