Dive into the captivating world of Fazıl Say's double symphony album, "Mezopotamya Senfonisi No. 2, Op. 38 - Universe Senfonisi No. 3, Op. 43." Released in 2013 under İmaj Music, this masterful work is a testament to Say's virtuosity and his deep connection to both his cultural heritage and the cosmos.
The album is a journey through two distinct yet interconnected symphonies. "Mezopotamya Senfonisi No. 2, Op. 38" pays homage to the rich history and mythology of Mesopotamia, with each movement evoking vivid imagery of the region's landscapes, cultures, and historical events. From the innocence of "Ovada İki Çocuk" to the powerful "Savaş Üzerine," Say weaves a tapestry of sounds that transport the listener through time and space.
Complementing this earthly journey is "Universe Senfonisi No. 3, Op. 43," which shifts the focus to the vast expanse of the cosmos. This symphony explores celestial phenomena, from the expansion of the universe in "Evrenin Genişlemesi" to the mysterious "Karanlık Madde." Say's compositions are accompanied by the Borusan Filarmoni Orkestrası, conducted by Gürer Aykal, adding depth and richness to each piece.
With a total duration of 1 hour and 15 minutes, this album is a substantial body of work that showcases Fazıl Say's versatility and depth as a composer. Whether you're a fan of classical piano or orchestral music, this album offers a unique and enriching listening experience.
