Hasanov, Gotfrid Alidin xva (1900-1965)

Also spelt Gasanov.

From the republic of Dagestan within Russia.

He wrote the first Dagestani opera "Khochbar" and I have finally managed to locate a copy and put in the Downloads section.  The quality sound is very low though, so if anyone has a converter system to improve the volume that would be much appreciated!

It is from the archives of the State-Radio company of Dagestan.

Hasanov has been mentioned here before, and his piano concerto has been posted up here (and on youtube) and been described as Rachmaninovian.


HISTORY and SYNOPSIS of the opera (via google translate of the opera's wikipedia page - https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Хочбар_(опера)):

Story and plot
Khochbar with his detachment raided all the way to Khunzakh, took the loot from the rich and distributed to all the poor. The Khunzakh khan understood that the war of the Hydatlins could not be defeated, he decided by decoy to decapitate their resistance - to destroy the leader of the Hydatlins. Mindful that they didn’t refuse an invitation in the mountains, he called Khochbar to his “wedding”. When he comes, the khan’s entourage binds him and the khan decides to put Khochbar to death — burning him at the stake. Before his death, Khochbar breaks out and takes two small children of the khan with him to the fire.

Staging the opera
The opera was staged in 1995 by the Dagestan State Philharmonic Society, the choir of the Dagestan State Pedagogical University, and the choir of the Makhachkala Music College. Later, with the opening in 1998. Dagestan State Opera and Ballet Theater, the opera was staged by the forces of this theater. From this premiere, the theater began to exist.
