Description



A titan of modern Turkish music.” – The New York Times

“…Saygun’s music is too unusual to sound familiar, and too intriguing to put listeners off.” – Fanfare

“Ahmed Adnan Saygun can be said to be the Turkish Béla Bartók.” – Stereoplay

“Saygun’s gift of orchestration, and particularly in creating dark, velvety, voluptuous textures from such instruments as low winds, harps, and celesta, means that no matter how complex the music may be, it always falls gratefully on the ear…. If you collect characterful and rewarding contemporary music, you will want this.” – classicstoday.com in a review of a recent recording of Saygun’s Symphony No. 4, Violin Concerto, and Suite Opus 14.

Ahmed Adnan Saygun actually studied informally with Bartok, when the latter visited Turkey on one of his ethnographic expeditions. Saygun learned a lot, and they remained good friends until Bartok's death. Saygun's music also seems rooted in Turkish folk rhythms, but rarely (as in the scherzo, here) does it actually rise to the surface. Instead, he's content to provide an intensely musical experience within a modern expressive framework. It's not atonal music, but he doesn't pull any punches, either. This is a gritty string quartet, the first of three he completed. I've another recording of it, but this is easily the better of the two.

Two bios of Saygun included.
