Tanburi Cemil Bey
Volumes 4 and 5
$17.99
Archival recordings of one of the great musical masters of the late Ottoman Empire. These are recordings made from the original discs cut in the beginning of the century, so please be aware that they sound like old 78s... they have not been remastered into sonic, bland oblivion by removing the sound of the needle and there is surface noise and other anomalies (and along with it, the nuances of the music therein).

The record label says:
Tanburi Cemil Bey is the most renowned composer of instrumental art music from the late Ottoman Empire. For over a century, his contributions to the suite forms known as pesrev and saz semai and breathtaking, elegiac improvisations (taksims) on tanbur and kemençe have remained the benchmark for modern Turkish composers and performers. From 1910 to 1914, before the invention of the electronic microphone, the Blumenthal Record and Talking Machine Company made acoustic recordings featuring Cemil Bey. These new volumes in Traditional Crossroads' Tanburi Cemil Bey series include extraordinary taksims, some of Cemil Bey's best compositions, and rare collaborations with great early 20th-century Turkish singers and instrumentalists. All have been digitally remastered using the state-of-the-art CEDAR system.
Other recordings by Tanburi Cemil Bey are available by special order. Please contact me for information

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.
