Surge of strike virtuosos and sonorities with the colors more surprising, the expressive possibilities of the Iranian drum in the shape of chalice tombak or his cousin the drum on Daf (framedrum) does not miss!"

" Telerama Eliane Azoulay "Passioned Percussionnist, Madjid Khaladj can draw from his drum the sounds most varied thanks to his great science from strike, and sometimes by frictions and scrapings. Its interpretations are always fine, and fertile in rhythmic or sound inventions of a large variety." Le Repertoire Alain Swietlik "Madjid Khaladj is one of the most passionate percussionnists of the Persian art Music." LE MONDE Patrick Labesse "Solos of the Master, Madjid Khaladj introduced its concert by notes of a dynamics if refined that it was for me as a gate gently pushed on a magic world, a world of sounds in turn fulgurating, irenic, ruffled, incisive, quiescent, precipice, slowed down, impetuous... Thank you Magic Khaladj!" Percussions Michel Faligand "Graduated precision, fine aesthetic direction, Madjid Khaladj creates a surprising music, made as well vertiginous frenzy as of alleviating softness." LIBERATION Bouziane Daoudi "With enthusiasm, Madjid Khaladj, endowed with a musical field crop, fact left magic and astonishing sonorities of its instruments. The power of the binary rhythms competes with are delirious enivrants of ternary measurements, involve us on their flying carpet (and Persan!) with the country of Thousand and One Nights. Luminous interpretations, being based on a knowledge and a technique without fault, more effective than quite learned speeches, contribute to the comprehension of a musical world, ignored by much among us."
