Last week I discovered Hüsnü Şenlendirici, an amazing Turkish clarinet player, when I listened to music by Dhafer Yousseff. You can read about Şenlendirici on this Wikipedia page. One of his grandfathers had a very cool first name…. ;-)
I love how he can make the tone of the clarinet rich and round or can make it sound almost like a violin, as he does in this piece.
Oh wow! This is excellent. What a find! Thanks!
BTW check out “Ah Bu Şarkıların Gözü Kör Olsun” (available as a single).
I like to listen to Taksim Trio! Grandpa’s name is so interesting! :)
