Hi guys,
Does anyone have any recordings of Rahmi Bey? He was a great composer and ud player from a while back.
If anyone has recordings, especially with taksim, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
mav
ps-one of his albums/compilations has the title "Manolia."

Hey Mav,
hmmm where have you heard of the recording? I see from a bio of his that he died in 1924, so just in time to have been recorded. cool i'm curious now
too.
All i have in my collection is 3 tracks of his sarkilar, 1 Zeki Müren, 1 Safiya Ayla, 1 song from a Kemal Gürses Isfahan Fasil. Have you the
fasil?
see you sooooooon!

Hey Adam,
I was at Haig's yesterday getting some strings (trying out his D'addario sets with rectified nylons) and he said I needed to absolutely listen to
him.
He didn't have any recordings lying around, but said that his style is very unique - sounds simple but hard to duplicate.
I'd love to hear him...apparently there are only two of his taksims recorded.
See ya!

Hi Mav,
I have a couple of recordings of him that Joe Zeytoonian sent me, they're somewhere in my cassette collection. I'll have some time off after
Christmas, so I'll see if I can dig em out, digitize em, and send them along. I have some other stuff I've promised to folks too, so Rahmi will have
to be the last thing I do.
Regards..PaulO

PaulO! Thanks so much. Whenever you get a chance to share those recordings is great!
I really appreciate it!
Thanks again,

rahmi bey was a big influence on john berberian. so worst comes to worst you could try listening to him. i know that doesn't really help but
anyway...

Thanks my friend, I followed your link and found nice sheet music to check out.
I think there's the possibility that there are two Rahmi Beys, one maybe significantly older than Udi Rahmi Bey.
Take care,
