Agshin Alizadeh

The next ballet "Journey to the Caucasus", which reflected the events of the history of Azerbaijan and the image of the poet Khurshidbanu Natavan and the French writer Alexandre Dumas, embodied the vital problems of modern history, as if expressing the principle of "the past in the present." The same trend projections of past events in modern life emerged in the last one-act ballet, "Waltz of Hope." Alizade headed the Union of Composers of Azerbaijan, and was the Secretary of the Union of Soviet Composers. He was also awarded People's Artist of Azerbaijan SSR, laureate of State Prize (1978)
