Cihat AskinThe Turkish violinist has a huge following in classical music circles, but this recording shows how deep the roots of Anatolian folk music run the in classical/traditional repetoire. Here Askin Cihat shares the stage with some of Turkey's most noted folk and contemporary artists, including guitarist Erkan Ogur and singer Hadass Pal-Yarden. A number of traditional songs are performed in a quartet of viloin with gourd fiddle, bagpipe and bouzouki.

| "There's hardly any other CD that I'd put in my player to show a guest how rich and diverse are Turkey's musical traditions (I'd of course point out that this is strictly limited to one geographical region, and that there's much more in Anatolia). Askin shows the instrumental ability which his to be expected from someone with his qualifications, but not many of his classical music colleagues show a comparable openness to different musics, and such an emotional involvement with "folk" music, the only comparable contemporary example being Giora Feidman. Klezmer, classical, jazz music fans who hear this want all to know where to get it, and I do hope that something along these lines will be presented in concert soon." - Francesco Martinelli, RootsWorld (read the complete review) |

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
