Sedat Oztoprak

[anjund]

hello

i oftenly cross beautiful works from this turksih composer when i go back to turkish music.
Like for exemple his samay in suzidil, evç or sehnaz, among some others.
Do you have some things to share about him, I mean outside his works he let us. Do you know about him ?

Maybe this was already shared on the forum, but i didn't found anything, unless i wrote his name in arabic in a wrong way

best wishes

First of all, thank you for bringing our attention to this interesting composer. I had never heard about him before I read your post, but that's barely an indicator as I am taking my very first steps into exploring the Turkish
repretoir. Unfortunately, those among us who know more about this music have long disappeared from the forum. I hope they'll come back one day!

Now I found this wonderful article in both Turkish and English from Makam magazine about this composer, an interview with his grandson, who happens to be a baritone opera singer. I haven't read it yet but I think it will provide a sufficient answer to your question.

I hope too
thanks for this very interesting sharing. I didn't knew this magazine, i will check this to download an electronic version of it. It gave me eager to read the following.
Great you enjoyed it. Everytime i go to turkish interprétations of a makam and seek for pieces to work, i get to Sedat Oztoprak ...Though when I get to know the amount of his works, not so much seems to have been recorded.
