#smrgKİTABEVİ Troia : Piece for Solo Viola for Unaccompanied Viola Op. 5, No: 1 - 2021
The composer brought a valuable work to the world viola repertoire by skillfully crafting the rich, virtuoso and mysterious sonority of the viola, which has been discovered more and more in recent years, in his work of Troy.
I express my admiration and endless thanks to Dear Turgay for this beautiful composition that symbolizes the war for Helena kidnapped to Troy and the warriors who were martyred here.
Atilla Aldemir Solo viola artist of the Germany Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra (MDR)
Halit Turgay is the narrator of non-verbal stories. The artist carries his talents to international standards with his composer and interpreter identity. In addition to the works he recreates (interprets) with his flute, he reaches the audience with his compositions that take their source from mythology. He is one of the rare musicians who sang his own concertos (stories). Troy also consists of stories made up of fragments. As can be seen from the magnificent interpretation of viola artist Atilla Aldemir recorded in 2019, Turgay has used the possibilities of viola skillfully. Each trailer makes the audience watch scenes from the legend of Troy like a painting made up of sounds. The work gives a real sense of freedom with its high energy and improvised structure. It is a living work that persistently demands various human feelings, especially love and courage. It is a map of a world that can be recreated in a very different way each time it is vocalized. With these features, it deserves to be among the frequently performed works of the solo viola repertoire.
