Fazil Say - Troy Sonata Fazil Say Plays Say (CD)

Details: 2019 release. The centerpiece of this album of piano works by Fazil Say is his Troy Sonata. Say gave it's premiere in August 2018 in the Turkish city of Çanakkale, near the historical site of Troy itself. "There are not many purely musical works on the subject of Troy," explains Say, "so I have endeavored to express all the dramatic features of this magical legend through the language of music." As the Turkish magazine Andante wrote, the 10-movement sonata "is composed around a structure just as epic as it's subject".
