Preiser Records (Wien, Austria) published a CD containing a selection of verses from Friedrich Rosen's translation "Die Sinnsprüche Omars des Zeltmachers" (1909), read by the Austrian actor Stefan Fleming. Included are the five chapters from Rosen's version: "Welträtsel", "Lehre", "Vergänglichkeit", "Wein und Liebe" and "Schlussworte". This version was published originally in 1929 by Insell-Verlag, although the order of the chapters is a bit different. In between we hear a number of musical interludes, composed and performed by Nariman Hodjaty and Mohammadreza Mortazawi.
