From the time when cassettes were around until CDs came to the market and later Internet websites for following his works, many Iranians have been his fans.
In general, the majority of Iranians listen to pop, traditional, classical Iranian, etc types of music. His genre of music has got its own fans, although not in the majority in Iran too. However, due to the beauty of his piano pieces, even fans of other types of music appreciate his works a lot.
He’s mentioned that he’d perform “Ey Iran” anthem, an all-time nationalistic piece based on a composition by Iranian musician Ruhollah Khaleqi. This relates very much to the feelings of a large number of Iranians.
