Details
[Edit]With roots dating back to the 16th century, Ottoman music is one of the world's oldest and most sacred art forms, and this ongoing series of recordings is a testament to its rich cultural legacy. All of the classical songs here were composed in the 18th and 19th centuries, and the Istanbul-based Lalezar — who are spearheading the current Ottoman music revival — deliver faithful renditions of an elaborate suite characteristic of Ottoman court performances of the period, with lyrical instrumental improvisations on a central modal theme. The package includes a 40-page booklet with extensive liner notes detailing the history of Ottoman music but, while almost overwhelmingly informative, the 13-track CD is unlikely to appeal to casual fans of the Middle Eastern sound. An intriguing recording for historians and ethnomusicologists, but others may find these ancient songs to be a bit too inaccessible for casual listening.
