History
The first serious pieces of Persian symphonic music were composed by Gholma-Reza Minbashian and Gholam-Hossein Minbashian in around 1930s, later by Aminollah Hossein who lived in France and Parviz Mahmoud in 1940s.
Next generation of the Persian symphonic music composers where Houshang Ostovar, Samin Baghtcheban, Emanuel Melik-Aslanian, Morteza Hannaneh, Hossein Nassehi, Hossein Dehlavi, Hormoz Farhat, Ahmad Pejman, and Mohammad Taghi Massoudieh, etc.
Many symphonic pieces of the Persian composers have not yet been performed or recorded because of financial and political problems in Persia (Iran).
The first collection of Persian symphonic music works titled "Symphonic Poems From Persia" ("Symphonische Dichtungen aus Persien") was performed by the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra under Ali Rahbari in 1980. In late 1990s Manouchehr Sahbai recorded three CDs of Persian symphonic music pieces in Bulgaria and Austria.
The most active Persian composers in this style of music are Reza Vali, Behzad Ranjbaran and Mehdi Hosseini.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“All history becomes subjective; in other words there is properly no history, only biography.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“the future is simply nothing at all. Nothing has happened to the present by becoming past except that fresh slices of existence have been added to the total history of the world. The past is thus as real as the present.”
—Charlie Dunbar Broad (1887–1971)
