Currently struggling with,and losing to, some very intemperate weather on holiday in Turkey, so, an evening of uplifting music + a good book : Turkish music though, I think !
Fazil Say - 1001 Nights violin concerto
Ulvi Kemal Erkin - Symphony no. 1
Necil Kazim Akses - The Citadel of Ankara
Cengiz Tanc - Lyric concerto for flute, oboe & strings
Ahmed Adnan Saygun - 5 Songs for Mezzo-soprano & orchestra (lovely way to finish !)
Happy, warm, listening to all !
Great to know that you love to listen to Turkish composers while in Turkey too. Not that they are that well known or honoured locally (the Opera house in Istanbul at Taxim Square, named after Rey, had even disappeared when I went there last year). ??? I think I know them all, except for the citadel piece by Akses. Where did you find that?
