Ottoman music from the sacred and secular repertory of the 16th, 17th and 18th century. Here are all the subtleties and refinement of Oriental music, expressed through delicate touches of every shade and tone: order and alternation of instrumental and vocal pieces, both sacred and secular, the subtlety of the transition between modes… Against the memorable and inspiringly splendid background of Istanbul, Buhran Öcal recreates an 18th century feast in an oriental palace. Classical Ensemble of Istanbul: Burhan Öcal (darbouka, bendir, voice), Mehmet Arif Erdebil (nay), Göksel Baktagir (kanun), Osman Yurdal Tekcan (ud), Selim Güler (kamanche). Total time: 57:46.
