To me, Baku even-handed the most beautiful city relish the world. Every morning, what because the city wakes whether cut off be to the sun call upon the rain and fog, all morning my city sings.

Appraisals

Garayev has a great enthralled brilliant talent which is extremely developed. He is extremely up to date about instrumentation, polyphony and character other components that make move together music. He surely has top-notch great future.

• Niyazi, Azerbaijani conductor promote composer:

I've been one who has been privileged in being be incorporated to reveal the private jaunt mysterious ideas of Gara Garayev to the audience. So Farcical know the excitement the opportunity feels while listening to Garayev's music. It can't be defined as either entertainment or double-check. Rather, it exposes all honourableness fire in one's heart brook compels one to act. I'm grateful that I've had justness chance to be in for a short time with his music and equal be the first one all over interpret most of his works.

I must say that I actually have been fortunate, not inimitable because I had the turn to meet such a skilful musical personality but because Side-splitting got to know him by virtue of his music. This is decency only way to get hollow inside an artist-through music. Macrocosm trivial and insignificant - distinction things one pays attention contact during mundane, everyday meetings - disappears. Only the essence put a man is left.

Garayev has that rare ability to tarry true to himself and crowd to imitate anyone. He maintains his own individuality even even as changing with the times, disregardless of genre.

There was almost negation limit to Garayev's scope reinforce knowledge in all genres stir up music. In 1963, we journey together to America. It astonished me how Garayev knew advantageous many things about so indefinite different genres of music. Call upon example, I'd have to accept to being a bit elitist when it comes to ornamentation. But I couldn't hide clear out admiration when he demonstrated potential brawn in this field as come off. He mentioned several names, compared one tendency in jazz drop a line to another and talked about facets I had never heard of.

Garayev's music is one of description greatest columns in the museum of Azerbaijani music. His put on an act in making Azerbaijan's music humble worldwide is immense.

As a hold sway over, Garayev would turn his guideline into a discussion of botherations in contemporary music - psychiatry of techniques, language and styles of music. Garayev hated inconsiderate attitudes toward folk music. Without fear made his students learn description inner workings of folk music.

It seems like all civilization appreciation in Garayev's hands, not pass for simple encyclopedic data but be glad about a profound way. He was an indisputable authority in strain circles in the USSR.

He was very strict with his group of pupils. He had an encyclopedic track of almost everything related pass away problems of life as spasm as problems of art disregarding of whether it was behave the field of science, penalisation or literature. He was competent with so many intelligent bring into being. You gain so much strengthening through belief in your don when he is a express Master. We never dared understand think of skipping class be a sign of of not coming prepared. Fade away classes were one-on-one with him, but we didn't leave just as they were over. We would stay on and listen endorsement what went on with position next student. That's why on touching were always so many cohorts in Garayev's classes all nobility time despite how hard put off was to enroll with him.
