5.0 out of 5 stars Turkish music an historic view 8 Feb 2010
Format:Audio CD
This is a stunning CD of music written in the 17th century and performed (largely)in the palaces of Istanbul. It reflects the melting pot nature of the city of the time, including as it does, music from the Jewish tradition. The quality of the recording is superb with excellent balance throughout. The musical performances are of the highest order. The CD is lavishly packaged (in multiple language versions) with detailed and educated notes on both the history, the music and composer. Note this recording was funded by DG Education and Culture of the European Commission great use of European funding recognising the complex history of Europe and the near East.

5.0 out of 5 stars A class act 4 Mar 2010
By Aquinas
Format:Audio CD
Anyone who has been to Istanbul, the great city between east and west with its mixture of Roman, Byzantine and Islamic architecture and art, should buy this album. Jordi Savall, who is famous for his early music and concept albums, has brought together the sefardic, armenian and turkish musical streams and it really is excellent. Take, for example, the second tune on the album which transmits huge amounts of energy. Buy this if you are interested in world music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant 4 Feb 2010
Format:Audio CD
I guess you either like this kind of music or you don't. But for me it's a terrific album, expertly put together and superbly performed. It opens up(for those totally unfamiliar with the great musical culture of the Ottomans and their Istanbuli contemporaries)a whole new world of expression and feeling. This is highly sophisticated music, yet it speaks directly to one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Let down by the booklet
As regards the music, each section has an improvisation, followed by a composition. Personally I much preferred the improvisation, which is more fluid, less rigid (of course). Read more
