Fazil Say's 'Istanbul Symphony'
Every Friday, Performance Today features 21st century music. This week, the "Istanbul Symphony" by Fazil Say, dedicated to the city he calls home. We'll hear three movements, each of which paints a musical picture of a scene in Istanbul: the ferry motoring to nearby islands, the bustle of the train station, and the sound of Turkish music shimmering on the night air. Howard Griffith conducts the world premiere performance by the West German Radio Symphony.
