Tonight programme also includes the music of two contemporary Turkish pieces: "Capricio alla danza (2002) by Koral Sazli (b.1973), and "Elegy" (1983) by Bekir Küçükay (b.1958). Koray Sazli, is a young prize-winner composer and piano virtuoso, he impressed for his talent to introduce traditional Turkish rhythms in his compositions and for his refine elaborate harmonies. Bekir Küçükay (b.1958), also a versatile composer, who assimilate the Turkish idioms in his original compositions, "Elegy" and "Halay" reflected the composer musical imagination and creativity to bring back Turkish folk music to the 21st century. The music of France is represented by the composer Marin Marais (1656-1728), "Pieces de Viole", Viola da Gamba Pieces", a selection of French Baroque, and finally the concert concluded with two modern classical tangos of Astor Piazzolla (1921-1992). In summary we can recommend this concert for its rich and authentic repertoire, where the guitar plays the original tune of the traditional Turkish lute known as saz. At the same time, the audience will enjoy listening contemporary Turkish music, well elaborated and inspired in the rich musical and cultural traditions of the Republic of Turkey. PROFILE OF CEM DURUÖZ CEM DURUÖZ has performed in many countries around the world, i.e. Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, Japan, France, Greece, Bosnia, Spain, Serbia, Poland, Mexico, throughout Turkey and the USA. His recent concert at Carnegie Hall was a great artistic success. He has recorded three CDs, all of them, acclaimed by international audiences and well received by the critics. A short list of some reviews: "Duruöz captures the essence of the originals while at the same time giving a contemporary edge to this repertoire. On the whole, the transcriptions are extremely effective... This is an enterprising project." (BBC Music) "Stylish, elegant, and unexpectedly idiomatic... These attractive solo guitar arrangements of gamba and continuo works by Marin Marais are perfectly performed here by guitarist Cem Duruöz." (American Record Guide) "In this recording, the guitar is as effective as a full orchestra". (The Republic, Turkey) "Through this C.D. Duruöz's versatility is amply demonstrated, as his laudable proselytising on behalf of contemporary music."
