Udi Hrant on YouTube
Post Manchester Oud Meeting I was just YouTubing this morning and came across this beautiful piece from Udi Hrant
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGTiqlFKAzA
I've not heard this version before - I'm sure there's loads out there that is not on the 3 'official' cds of his.
have a good day

Hi Owain
How are you doing my friend ? - great to see you the other day. What I love about Udi Hrant is that every single note seems to be a taksim or maqam
in itself - Glenn was talking about this way of phrasing on Sunday.
His playing is very fluid and has a great emotional freedom to my ears - I which I could have seen him play, just to see how his fingers and hands
moved.

Hi Leon,
I saw an album (LP) at Alan Ishmael's many moons ago, with a green cover that had Emin Gunduz on it, but I don't remember it having the superb oud
sound that this one has. This is the best recording of Hrant's sound I've heard -- that's one nice oud he's playing ! Take care, and thanks for
pointing it out dude.
Regards..Paul

Hi Leon,
I'm fine thanks, hope you are well too. And of course great to see you in Manchester.
I agree with what you say about Udi Hrant's fluidity, and also he just has so much emotions in each pluck of string.
Think I missed Glenn talking about phrasing, what was he saying?

Thanks so much for sharing this. It's so great to hear these great musicians together - especially for me as Emin Gunduz was my kanun/makam teacher
for a while and I became very fond of him. He told me many stories about Udi Hrant and other great musicians he worked with, but I don't have that
many recordings of them.
If you ever get a chance to hear a recording of Emin Gunduz singing, check it out, he was a really amazing singer.
Thanks,
mavrothi
