Nāmburdah Ḥusayn Afshār: Persiska (Farsi) 1403

This book contains thirteen conversations with Iranian artists, actors, and critics about the late Hossein Sarshar. In his conversation about Sarshar’s moral qualities, Nosrat Karimi said: “Hossein Sarshar was an emotional and sentimental person. He was also very patriotic. He wanted to be in the Iranian environment. When he finished his studies in Italy, he returned to Iran to serve opera and music. That is why he returned to Iran, got married in Iran, and stayed there.” (p. 32) In part of his conversation about Hossein Sarshar, the late Mohammad Ali Keshavarz says: “He played many roles in Italian operas, and then when he came to Iran, he fell in love with his country in a strange way. He could have returned like many others who returned, But he said that my voice belongs to the people of this country... On the set of the film "Jafar Khan Returns from the Farang", he told me how good it is that you are talking to these artists who are from here (because many Isfahan actors also starred in that film). And so I played Uncle Hussein, who loved his niece immensely". (p. 38) Pari Samar said in his interview about Sarshar's voice: "We can say that Sarshar's voice was a dramatic baritone. Because the pieces he sang were like Verdi's. Verdi's operas are a burden on the shoulders of a dramatic baritone. Puccini and... wanted a singer who had a strong voice".
