Clarinet virtuoso Hüsnü Senlendirici is a true phenomenon in Turkey. His solo debut album The Joy Of Clarinet (2005) was sold a 100.000 times and leading the chart of best sold pop albums for three months, something that never happened before with an instrumental album. Together with his fellow country men, Ismael Tunçbilek and Aytaç Dogan, Senlendirici founded the Taksim Trio. A unique combination of Turkish classical music and Turkish folk music. A unique instrumentation as well because even though clarinet, quanun and baglama are regulary used instruments in Turkish music, they are rarely heard as a trio.
