Walkers! I’m beyond excited to share this video with you. Collaborating with Hans Zimmer on this release has been an out-of-body experience on a whole different level. Everyone who knows me, knows that I’m a huge fan of his work, and it has played a big part of my musical journey. Especially “Time,” which is probably my favorite song ever. Plus it marks the 10th anniversary for Inception this year too. I’m as grateful as I can possibly be for this opportunity!
Making this music video during a world that’s on lockdown, provided some obvious challenges. However, we decided to use that to our advantage, and I really hope you like the result. Let me know what you think in the comment section below!

In my process of learning the duduk, I have experienced different techniques and styles. I finally have found my musical identity as a duduk player after a long and difficult journey; however, I have benefited from different styles and cultures, and, inspired from different stories. This journey gave me new and different perspectives, knowledge, experience and story. You are welcome to write your own story.
Special thanks to Derya Ulkat and Deniz Ulkat.
Thanks a lot to Baris Ayhan and Lea Laubacher for French subtitles.
ABOUT ME
I am a professional duduk player and educator.
I studied in Istanbul Technical University Turkish Music State Conservatory. I studied the duduk with Suren Asaduryan and Özcan Gül. I joined in Erkan Oğur’s and Derya Türkans workshops, who are two prominent representatives of Anatolian music.
It is possible to hear both Turkish and Armenian and also Ottoman Classical Music modes and patterns in my playing style. I have contributed to many albums and music productions with my duduk throughout my career. I composed music for quartet (duduk, piano, double bass, drums) and founded the band “Canberk Ulaş Quartet” in 2015 and I released my album titled “Telafi" with this band in 2017.
I continue working on my music projects, giving concerts in different parts of the world and giving duduk online lessons to duduk lovers from all over the world.
The St John Passion, performed by the Nederlands Bach Society for All of Bach, was the first Passion Bach had written as cantor in Leipzig. The Passion story as told in the Gospel of John is different from that told by the other three evangelists – Matthew, Luke and Mark. John’s version places the emphasis on Christ’s divine origin. Throughout his suffering, this divine origin still plays a role and nowhere is Jesus as human as in the other gospels.
For this performance, we selected a cast of singers under the age of 35. Apart from the leaders, all the orchestra members are also younger than 35. The concert series was preceded by a course of auditions and masterclasses.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on March 11th 2017 at the Grote Kerk, Naarden. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

Xaver Varnus plays Toccata and Fugue in D minor (edited by Mendelssohn) on the great Sauer Organ of the Berliner Dom. Recorded live on the Opening Night of the «Berliner Internationaler Orgelsommer 2013».
At the time of its dedication in 1905, the great Sauer Organ of the Berliner Dom was the largest in Germany, with its 7269 pipes and 113 registers, distributed across four manuals and pedals. The court organ builder Wilhelm Sauer, from Frankfurt on the Oder, created an instrument that embodied the newest technical and musical developments of German organ building at the time. In that way, the organ met the high expectations of both the organ builder and his client: in the Protestant Cathedral of the capital city, there was to be a monumental, modern, and in every way extraordinary instrument of the highest quality. The organ of the Cathedral of Berlin represents the highpoint of Sauer’s career. At the same time, it marks the end of the long development of Romantic orchestral organs, whose sound corresponds to the characteristic sound of a symphonic orchestra of that period. Today, the organ in the Cathedral of Berlin is the largest late-Romantic pneumatic action organ in the world that has survived in its original condition.

Born in Budapest, his first piano teacher was Emma Németh, one of the last pupils of Claude Debussy. Xaver Varnus has played virtually every important organ in the world, including those in Bachs Thomaskirche in Leipzig (2014), Berliner Dom (2013), Notre-Dame (1981), Saint-Sulpice (2006) and Saint-Eustache (1996) in Paris, National Shrine in Washington, D.C. (1985), and Canterbury Cathedral (2004), as well as the largest existing instrument in the world, the Wanamaker Organ in Philadelphia (1985). His Quadruple Platinum Disc winning album From Ravel to Vangelis, released by Sony BMG in 2007, is the best-selling organ CD ever. As a Canadian citizen, Xaver Varnus resides in Berlin, Germany. «Put simply, Varnus is a monster talent, every bit as stimulating and individual as the late Glenn Gould» (The Globe
«Counterpoint passes back and forth between the hands in a conversational and judiciously balanced manner, while a strong lyrical inlpulse informs the cross-handed variations rapid, bravura passages (Vars 5 and 19, for example). Ishizakas restrained and concentrated way with slow minor-key variations (Vars 15,21 and 25) lets the musics agonising harmonic tension speak softly for itself.»

«She has the fleet fingers to speed through the virtuoso variations with compelling clarity and the sensitivity to probe the dramatic potential of the slower, more profound numbers, pleasurably aided by her consistently lovely tone.»
— Robert Schulslaper, Issue 36:1 (Sept/Oct 2012), Fanfare Magazine
«The sound quality of the recording is top notch»
«In fact, the albums an audiophile gem.»

“China’s premier interpreter of Bach”, is what International Piano Magazine called Yuan Sheng. A pupil of Solomon Mikowsky (Manhattan School of Music) and notably Rosalyn Tureck, Yuan Sheng extensively studied the performance practice of Baroque music. Equally at home at the harpsichord he has an instinctive feeling for the possibilities, sonorities and touch of the instrument at hand, so that “the listener might easily have imagined the composer at the keyboard” (Boston Intelligencer).
The title is misleading: the English Suites are more ‘French’ in character than the French Suites, which are more characteristic of the Italian style. ‘By design the composer is here less learned than in his other suites,’ remarked one early biographer, ‘and has mostly used a pleasing, more predominant melody.’ Just so, and the same is true of the pair of suites BWV 818 and 819 which fall outside the collection but belong with it in terms of style. To all of them Yuan Sheng brings considered tempi and precise articulation in the mould of Tureck. To Bach at his most uncomplicated, Sheng brings the virtues of simplicity and clarity.
Again Yuan Sheng draws the listener into his highly intelligent musical discourse, vibrant and moving, speaking through the medium of a modern Steinway piano.

Никто не может сравниться с Сэмом Ротстином. Никто не умеет зарабатывать деньги, как он. Никто не умеет работать так самоотверженно и аккуратно, как трудяга Сэм. За свои неоспоримые достоинства Ротстин получил кличку «Ас». И именно поэтому боссы мафии решили отправить Аса заправлять огромным шикарным казино в Лас-Вегасе. А чтобы Сэму никто не мешал работать, мафиози отправили вслед за Асом друга детства Ротстина — Никки Санторо, отпетого бандита и безжалостного головореза.
В Лас-Вегасе Ас как всегда с блеском выполнял свою работу: Казино процветало, водопад денег беспрестанно лился в карманы довольных гангстеров-покровителей. Городские заправилы находились на довольствии у мафии, полицейские и суды были куплены, и, казалось, ничто не может омрачить жизнь Аса. Но Господь распорядился иначе. Несокрушимой империи Сэма было суждено утонуть в трагедии и крови.
