Ottoman Fragrances

by Emma

parfums_ottomans.jpgParfums ottomans (or Ottoman Fragrances) is the latest creation of The Al-Kindî Ensemble - a collaboration of musicians from Turkey, Egypt, Azerbaijan, Syria, and the United States led by zither virtuoso Julien Jâlâl Eddine Weiss.

This double-album set is a collection of Arab-Turkish Court Music dating back to the 17th century. There is something fascinating about listening to music that has been played and heard by so many people over so many years. And excellent instrumental skill and the passion of the artists brings this music fresh life.

Happily, The Al-Kindî Ensemble (or Ensemble Al-Kindî - you pick!) is offering us two audio samples and a performance video to whet our appetites.
