Fazil Say - Troy Sonata Fazil Say Plays Say - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Fazil Say - Debussy Preludes; Satie Gymnopedies, Gnossiennes [COMPACT DISCS] date 08/31/2018

Double vinyl LP pressing with etching on Side D plus . 2017 , the fifth album from the alt-rock band. A Black Mile to the Surface is a bold record of vision and purpose, inspired by and dwelling in a sensory and imaginative experience. It's a reinvention of sorts, both musically and personally-a sort of cosmic worldview shift. But in the end, the record's themes are universal. To manifest this vision, the band turned to producer Catherine Marks (Foals, PJ Harvey, The Killers, Interpol) and began working with her at Echo Mountain studio in Asheville. Manchester Orchestra originated in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia. They are named after the English city of Manchester, a city frequently viewed as bohemian and rich in musical history (The Smiths, The Fall, The Buzzcocks, The Stone Roses, Joy Division, Oasis, New Order, Happy Mondays, Magazine).

Oiseaux Tristes is the title of Fazil Say's new recital album, it follows the ongoing project Morning and Evening. Repertoire is French François Couperin Pièces de clavecin, Livre 4 - Vingt-(et)-unième Ordre (XXI) in E minor, Claude Debussy Suite bergamasque, CD, L. 75, Maurice Ravel, Miroirs, M. 43. He considers Ravel's Miroirs one of the most interesting and comprehensive works in the piano repertoire. He spent months with the piece, finding it difficult to play, but at the same time appreciates it's powerful and unusual side. François Couperin's Suite No. 21 in E minor was recommended to him by a friend in Istanbul who is a violinist, and Fazil subsequently adapted it for the piano.
