Fazil Say - Say Plays Say 3 (2021) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Turkish pianist and composer Fazil Say presents a programme of his works, performed by the artist himself!

“The piano pieces you are about to listen to in this CD and which I have been performing throughout my professional career, truly represent a pianists piano music. There are also some vivid allusions to Turkey and Anatolia. In my younger days, I was also extremely fond of composing jazz variations of famous classical works, and we have included a few examples here. Throughout the years, I have always made a point of playing these pieces in my concerts, sometimes as an encore piece, sometimes as part of a themed performance or even as an adaptation. Music connoisseurs who know me also know many of these works. Film-maker and writer Andrei Tarkovsky made an observation which I greatly admire: Art is born out of an ill-designed world. So here are some humble examples as my attempt to explain a life though music.”
