Description

Nâzim Hikmet has been one of Fazil Say’s greatest influences as an artist and personality since his youth. The poet suffered nearly his entire life under censorship, publication bans, persecution, expatriation and imprisonment. Despite all of this, he became a formative voice of Turkish culture.

This large-scale oratorio in sixteen parts is dedicated to the poet and contains the quintessence of Say’s previous creative activity and his aesthetic and human credo. The heartbreaking hymn Memleketim [my country] has become a popular stand-alone piece.
