Yurdal Tukcan’s solo oud CD (“Hislenis”)--previously impossible to buy outside Turkey--has finally been released in the USA as “Passion”: http://www.goldenhorn.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Sto... and re-released in Turkey as “Saray”: http://www.tulumba.com/storeItem.asp?ic=MU9399191AO365

I finally got to hear him live in a concert last night, and he is a great udist!

Cheers,
John

I know isn't he just amazing. One of my favorite udists of this new generation. One question though, did anyone record this performance. Is there a number or site we can get in touch with so we can get a video of this performance.
Thanks

Hi David,

The performance was fine, but didn't really feature Yurdal that much. He did 3 taksim, only one of which was really an extended one. The studio CD of the ensemble, Yahudice, is available from Kalan Muzik: http://www.kalan.com/english/scripts/album/dispalbum.asp?id=3447

For oud fans, I think this would be a better concert to pursue recordings of: http://www.santacruzlive.com/events/view_entry.php?id=8338

Best,
