Excerpts from Seda’s upcoming CD “Listening to Istanbul” were featured prominently in a recent German radio show on the state of contemporary music in Turkey. The program, which was produced by the Bavarian Broadcasting Corporation, closed with a long section from Özkan Manav’s “Movement 6,” a beautiful piece that brings microtonal inflections of Turkish makams to the concert piano.
You can download a copy of the program, which is authored by the German composer Klaus Hinrich Stahmer, here:
(In case you only want to hear the playing, skip forward to 46:00 minutes.)
Enjoy!
