Piyanolu Beşli/Piano Quintet

Ulvi Cemal Erkin (1906-72) was a Turkish composer, and one of the so-called “Turkish Five”, who combined Turkish elements with Western symphonic style of music.

Erkin’s piano quintet is reminiscent of his general style, with the Western symphonic texture combined with Turkish melodies. It premiered on 23 January 1946 on Ankara Radio, by Ferhunde Erkin, Gilbert Back, Sedat Ediz, İzzet Nezih Albayrak, and Mesut Cemil Tel.
