4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting experiment and fascinating to listen to., September 18, 1998

This review is from: Popular Turkish Folk Songs (Audio CD)

Corringham has a deep sexy voice and puts a subtly different slant on Turkish singing. What bamboozels me is the fact that although her Turkish accent seems to be perfect, I couldn't quite make out what she was singing.

Also, I guess these songs must be "popular" as it says on the cover, or they wouldn't have survived to this day, but I must confess, I couldn't recognise any of them - they are certainly not a representation of contemporary taste.

The sometimes deep but fluid voice of Corringham gave me the feeling that I was perhaps listening to the voice of an Eastern European native, rather than that of mainland Turkey or Cyprus.

Very interesting. I'll listen again... and again... and again...

I listened to this nice album at Naxos Music Library to which I accessed through the Bogazici University of Turkey. I must confess that the singer has an interesting and different accent but her voice is really inspiring. I liked this album very much. The songs are not currently popular in Turkey but these carefully selected songs are the ones which are unforgettable among Turkish folk songs.
