Editorial Reviews

Also available: Ahenk Volume 2. Ahenk, translated as 'harmony', symbolizes the musical union of Derya Turkan (classical kemençe) and Murat Aydemir (tanbur), two of Turkey s most respected classical musicians. An excellent introduction to Turkish/Ottoman classical music repertoire, featuring well known works by the great 20th century composers Serif Muhiddin Targan and Tanburi Cemil Bey.

5.0 out of 5 stars This CD represents the best of Turkish Classical Music, April 7, 2001

I was searching for a representative of the Classical Turkish Music to introduce my friends to Turkish music and I was very happy when I found this one. The selection is masterly-played, the songs are mostly slow, captivating and soulful. The music has a good "old" quality that takes you to the Ottoman palace and starts you to dream. Certainly a "must have" if you're willing to experience a different piece of music.

This is a 'must have' for anyone who enjoys either Turkish or Middle Eastern music. Wonderful for just listening to, or even meditating; very relaxing music. Not particularly for belly dancing, but would be appreciated by dancers for sure.

Not being familiar with classical turkish music except for the occasional belly dance track, I purchased this to experience another side of turkish music. I highly reccomend this disc, every track is enjoyable and opens a new experience to the listener.
