Description
This recording by the DEM Ensemble expands the DEM Trio to include Atilla Akinturk and Erdem Simsek. It is dedicated to historic music culture of Istanbul reflecting an interesting mixture from the Byzantine, Ottoman and Turkish Republic periods.
The repertoire covers melodies from throughout all of Anatolia and the Aegean but is unified in the representation of all these regional cultures in the cosmopolitan structure of Istanbul.
About the previous album: "This album is both a brilliant showcase for the art of Turkish tanbur-like instrumental playing and a great presentation of Turkish music to the world." (Songlines - Top of the World)
