Mirza Hosseyngholi; famous as Jenab-e Mirza and Agha Hosseyngholi ist the third son of Agha Ali-Akbar, the very legendary tar player.
Jenab-e Mirza was born ca. 1853. He couldn’t gain the lessons of his father, because of father’s the short life time. Therefore he started to learn Tar first by his brother Mirza Abdollah and then by Agha Gholamhosseyn, who was his stepfather.
Jenab-e Mirza and his brother Mirza Abdollah were favorite musicians of Naser od-Din Shah and played at his court. That’s why Agha Hosseyngholi had relations to rich and distinguished families. Between 1892-1902 Mo’ayer ol-Mamalek recorded his Tar solo on Phonograph cylinders. Some of these records contain his singing. These Phonograph cylinder records are in part maintained and the rest were damaged.
Jenab-e Mirza gone away 1907 on a trip to Paris with Seyyed Ahmad Khan vocalist, Mirza Assadollah – Tar and santoor player, Bagher Khan Kamanche player, and Mohammad Bagher Tonbak player to make recordings for Société Anonyme Française Ondographique released on Eden Paris double-sided, black & white illustrated label and Globos Record of German Globophon GmbH in Hannover.
Aref Ghazvini believed: “The greatest master of Tar deserted us. It takes some generations, till a legendary like him recreated”.
Jenab-e Mirza had bequeathed the following student: Gholam-Hosseyn Darvish, Mirza-Gholamreza Shirazi, Alinaghi Vaziri, Morteza Neydavud, Ali-Mohammad Fakham-Behzadi and his sons Ali-Akbar Shahnazi, Mirza-Hassan and Abdolhosseyn Shahnazi.
