BSO's
New CD to Feature Erkin's Music
The Bilkent Symphony Orchestra (BSO) has recorded works of the Turkish
composer Ulvi Cemal Erkin for a new CD. The orchestra made the recording under the
direction of its music director, Emil Tabakov.
The CD is being produced with the support of the Central Bank and will be available to
music lovers by the end of the year.
Renowned French pianist Jean-Philippe Collard played Erkin's Piano Concerto, which was
composed for the CD.
The recording also includes Erkin's "Köçekçe" and his First Symphony. The CD
is the first of a set of three discs covering Erkin’s complete symphonic works. Planned
for completion in three years, the set will include performances of his Violin Concerto
and Symphony Concertante for Piano and Orchestra by renowned contemporary foreign
soloists.
With this recording and also a concert (given on September 30th) featuring Erkin's music,
the Bilkent Symphony Orchestra has taken a step forward in making the music of Turkish
composers better known to the listening public. The BSO's ultimate goal is to have Turkish
compositions become part of the repertoires of foreign conductors and soloists.
