anjelika akbar - çöl gülü turkish classical pianist anjelika akbar brings together diverse musicians from her homeland to create bach à l'orientale. everything from the composer's famously dark toccata to st. matthew's passion to the well-tempered clavier and concerto for viola and orchestra are showcased here... with a lot more than a little turkish delight layered on top.
on çöl gülü, or "desert rose" anjelika caresses the keys beautifully conveying bach's little prelude in c-minor. starting off without a care in the world, the piece slowly grows in intensity. passion mounts. a doumbek (turkish hand drum) enters the soundscape, then another, then a second set of keys, all swirling. a man cries out. the keys pound out the melody as if possessed. so good you close your eyes and drown in it.
ah the melodrama.
