Happy Sunday Steemians,
I would like to share a music video from a concert of mine.
This piece is written by a Romanian prince, Dimitrie Cantemir, who lived in Istanbul (then Constantinople) in the early 18th century. He was an European composer living in Ottoman Empire and composing in Ottoman music style.
That's why I though it would be a wonderful idea to perform his music with a mix of instruments from Eastern and Western traditions, since his music carries multi-cultural influences.
The instruments featured here are;
-violin, an instrument shared in both cultures
-harpsichord, western music instrument used highly in Renaissance and Baroque music
-yaylı tanbur, traditional Turkish bowed string instrument
I hope you enjoy!
