Inspired by a gorgeous recording on a wax cylinder by the composer, Tanburi Cemil Bey (1873-1916).

Performed on politiki lyra (classic kemençe), a small bowed fiddle from Istanbul.

Recorded at The Banff Centre, November 2008.

Bravo Phaedon! I enjoyed it till the end. Just a bedir was missing. Nice playing. Keep it posting such nice music. Maybe, Cemil Bey's kurdilihicazkar? It's my favorite.
