...“Few singers possess a voice of such farfamed magic. The sounds that emanate from Alim Qasimov’s throat are nothing short of astonishing. His is a powerful voice, charged with tension and laden with emotion, capable of incorporating both masculine and feminine aspects. it can soar unexpectedly to an ethereal falsetto, only to plunge to gravelly depths that are no less astounding. At times his voice seems to expire in the merest whisper of a pianissimo only to rise again with all the rolling thunder of a forte. When Alim Qasimov embarks on these ambitious vocal ventures, he does not do so to display his virtuosity, but in order to illustrate as precisely as possible the emotional state described by the lyrics he is singing.”
