Life

Fazıl Say was born on January 14, 1970 in Ankara. His father is Ahmet Say, a Turkish musicologist and writer . Born with a cleft lip and palate , Fazıl Say was operated on as a child. The doctor in charge recommended that Fazıl's parents let him learn to play a wind instrument in order to train his mouth muscles, which were affected by the cleft. His parents later gave him an electronic organ on which he played Mozart and Beethoven symphonies . At the age of five he took piano lessons from a student of Alfred Cortot . In 1985 David Levine and Aribert Reimann led a workshop in Ankara, where they became aware of Fazıl, who was then studying piano and composition at the state conservatory . In 1987 they brought him to the Robert Schumann Hochschule in Düsseldorf , where he studied piano with David Levine . He moved to the Berlin University of the Arts in 1992 and studied there until 1995. During this time he took part in three competitions, of which he won the 1994 Young Concert Artists International Auditions in New York . That was the beginning of Say's international career.

As a pianist he played a. a. with the New York Philharmonic , Israel Philharmonic Orchestra , Baltimore Symphony Orchestra , Concertgebouw Orchestra , Philadelphia Orchestra , Saint Petersburg Philharmonic , BBC Philharmonic , Orchester National de France , Vienna Symphony, and other major orchestras around the world. As a concert pianist, he has been a guest at festivals such as the Lucerne Festival , the Ruhr Piano Festival , the Rheingau Music Festival , the Verbier Festival , the Montpellier Festival , the Beethovenfest Bonn and has also played in all the major concert halls in the world, such as the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the New York's Avery Fisher Hall , the Suntory Hall in Tokyo , the Berlin Philharmonic , the Wiener Musikverein and Carnegie Hall . In the 2003/04 season, Say made his debut at the Salzburg Festival , where he has since performed regularly, at the Lincoln Center Festival in New York, at the International Piano Series in London and at the World Piano Series in Tokyo . Since the 2006/2007 season, Say has been one of the two exclusive artists at the Dortmund Konzerthaus for five years . Radio France also named him “Artist in Residence” in 2003 and 2005, and he also carried this title at the Bremen Music Festival in 2005 and at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg in 2009/2010.

In the field of chamber music , the pianist plays with musicians such as Yuri Bashmet , Shlomo Mintz and Maxim Vengerov . Say went on tour with the latter in 2004 through concert halls in Europe and the USA (including Carnegie Hall ). He forms a permanent duo with the violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja , for whom he wrote a violin concerto .

In December 2007, a heated public discussion broke out in Turkey and other European countries when Say in an interview with the Süddeutsche Zeitung complained about the political situation and the human rights situation in Turkey and considered emigrating. His openly expressed rejection of Arabesque pop, which is popular among certain social classes in Turkey, also sparked heated discussions . Arabesk music is "a burden for intellectuality, modernity, leadership and art" and further: "I am ashamed, ashamed, ashamed of the Arabesk proletariat among the Turkish people".

Trial for public "denigration of religious values"

In early April 2012, Fazıl Say sparked a wave of outrage in religious circles in Turkey. The self-confessed atheist had in his Twitter - account , inter alia, a muezzin and the Koran amused. On April 5, 2012, he made fun of a muezzin who had shown particular urgency when he called to prayer: In just 22 seconds his chant was over, and Say tweeted: “Why such a hurry? Do you have a lover waiting for you or a rakı on the table? ”In another tweet he asked:“ I don't know if you noticed? Wherever there are talkers, mean ones, sensation-greedy, thieves, charlatans, they are all overly religious. Is that a paradox ? ”Say re-tweeted verses attributed to the medieval Persian poet Omar Chajjam (1048–1131), in which a. means: “You say that wine will flow in the rivers [in paradise] - is paradise a pub?” - or with regard to the virgins promised by the Koran in paradise to the believers: “Is paradise a wonderful brothel? "

Three Turkish citizens then filed a complaint. They accused Say of having insulted the Islamic religion and its followers and publicly disparaging religious values. So far it is unclear whether the charges against the artist were brought by the three of their own accord or whether they were initiated by an organization. One of the three, Emre Bukagili, is known to have filed complaints many times.

The Istanbul Public Prosecutor's Office started a criminal investigation against Say. The 42-year-old was accused of inciting hatred against certain sections of the population and publicly denigrating religious values. The basis of the prosecution's action was Article 216 of the Turkish Penal Code (“sedition”), in which the “denigration of religious values ​​of parts of the population” is punishable:

Section 216

(1) Anyone who publicly incites sections of the population to hatred and hostility towards other population groups on the basis of social class, race, religion, denomination or regional peculiarities in a way that [thereby] poses a clear and immediate danger to the public security is to be punished with imprisonment of one to three years.

(2) Anyone who publicly slanders parts of the population because of their social class, race, religion, denomination, gender or origin should be punished with a prison sentence of six months to one year.

(3) Anyone who publicly denigrates the religious values ​​of a part of the population should be punished with a prison sentence of six months to one year.

On October 17, 2012, the trial began in the 19th Criminal Chamber of the Istanbul Peace Court. According to the public prosecutor's office, Say had gone too far with his (re-) tweeted remarks and his own comments and had “publicly degraded the religious values ​​that part of the population recognizes for themselves”, thus fulfilling the specified criminal offense; she asked for Say to be sentenced to one and a half years in prison.

The pianist rejected all allegations at the beginning of the trial and demanded his acquittal. The hearing was adjourned after about an hour. Out of consideration for his concert dates, Say no longer had to appear in court at future hearings. On April 15, 2013, Say was sentenced by the criminal chamber to ten months probation for blasphemy .

In a joint declaration on October 16, 2012, politicians from several parliamentary groups in the German Bundestag described both the procedure and the level of the threat of punishment as completely disproportionate - in particular because Turkey has ratified the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), Article 10 of which gives the right to freedom of expression protects. The Turkish Constitution (Article 90, Paragraph 5) stipulates that international treaties that are in force have the force of law and that - if the provisions governing fundamental rights and freedoms of such international treaties do not coincide with the national provisions of the same content - the provisions of the international treaties Have priority. “In view of this, freedom of expression, which is protected by the European Convention on Human Rights in Article 10, must always be taken into account first by the courts,” said the legal scholar Bilgütay Kural. Independently of the ECHR, Article 26 of Turkey's constitution also protects freedom of expression. “In a democratic and secular constitutional state, mere expressions of opinion should not lead to the charge of a serious crime and long imprisonment,” said the above-mentioned declaration, which was signed by more than 100 members of the Bundestag.

On October 26, 2015, the judgment against Say was overturned by the Court of Cassation , as Say's statements were covered by the right to freedom of expression .

Fazıl Say after a concert at SHMF 2011

During the 750th anniversary in Berlin , he performed his work Black Hymns , which he had already composed at the age of sixteen. A concert for piano, violin and orchestra followed in 1991 and Die Seidenstrasse , a piano concert in 1996 , accompanied by the Boston Chamber Orchestra . Many of Say's compositions have been recorded on CD. Performances of his own works are also very popular in his Turkish homeland. In 2003 the premiere of his oratorio Requiem for Metin Altıok took place in front of an audience of 5,000 in Istanbul. The world premiere of his oratorio Nâzım , dedicated to the poet Nâzım Hikmet , was released on DVD. For the city ​​of Vienna he composed a ballet for the Mozart year 2006 as a commissioned work. In 2006 he wrote the solo work Inside Serail for the Salzburg Festival . Since 2006 Say has had an exclusive contract with the Mainz music publisher Schott Music , which publishes the sheet music for his works. The musician also composes film music for international productions (including Japan and Italy).

The artist has been releasing his own music albums since the late 1990s. In 1998, the first recording of Mozart's works was released, which received such positive acclaim that it resulted in an exclusive collaboration between the artist and Major Teldec . In 2000 Say recorded Le sacre du printemps by Igor Stravinsky . The special thing about this recording was that he played both parts of the work for piano four hands one after the other with a Steinway grand piano. At concerts he chose a Bösendorfer computer grand piano with which he had previously recorded the first part and played the second live during the concert. Say received the ECHO Klassik and the annual German Record Critics' Award for the recording . Numerous other CD recordings with foreign and own works followed (among others under Kurt Masur ). In 2009 Say also recorded works for violin and piano by Beethoven, Ravel, Bartók & Say together with his chamber music partner Patricia Kopatchinskaja . The album received the ECHO Klassik for best chamber music. His first CD on a French label 1001 Nights in the Harem , on which only his own compositions are collected, also received international awards .

The music criticism is now mostly expressed in superlatives about the artist and his work, he is often referred to as an exceptional pianist or genius. The French newspaper Le Figaro verdict did ". He is not only a brilliant pianist, he will undoubtedly be one of the great artists of the 21st century", 2005, the German-language music film was Fazıl Say - Alla Turca over Says multifaceted work, first on ARTE and was shown on the ZDF theater channel and was released on DVD in 2008. Don Kent made an English-language documentary about Say back in 2001 .

The artist also has a pronounced passion for jazz music , which is evident in some of his compositions as well as in a series of virtuoso jazz adaptations of classical works such as Mozart's Turkish March or Für Elise , but also in concert series and performances, etc. a. with Kudsi Ergüner and Bobby McFerrin .

In 2008 Fazıl Say was awarded the Bremer Musikfest Prize and hit German and Turkish headlines because of a planned performance of his Requiem for Metin Altiok (2003) in Germany. Together with, among others, Paulo Coelho , he was named “ Ambassador of Intercultural Dialogue ” by the EU for this year .

On February 13, 2010, the ballet Once Upon a Time ... Grimm's Fairy Tales for those in a hurry with compositions by Fazıl Say, Jacques Offenbach and others was premiered at the Hessian State Theater in Wiesbaden . The ballet director was Stephan Thoss .

In 2010, at the end of his permanent position at the Dortmund Konzerthaus, Fazıl Say's first symphony about his adopted home, Istanbul, was premiered. In the second movement of the symphony he satirized the negative sides of Islam and the abuse of this religion by politics and religious orders. He represents the Muslim creed Lā ilāha illā ʾllāh ( There is no god but God ) with a monotonous and aggressive rhythm that characterizes almost the entire sentence. Fazıl Say writes:

“The anger I've felt for 30 years over religion being misused for political ambition, and the great influence of the orders that exploit religion, has created the dark and torn notes that make up this quick phrase. "

Furthermore, the violin concerto 1001 Nights in the Harem was presented for the first time in Germany and a string quartet Fazıl Says was premiered at the concerts . His Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra op. 34 Khayyam with the soloist Sabine Meyer was performed for the first time in July 2011 as part of the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival . For Sabine Meyer he also wrote the Sonata for Clarinet and Piano Op. 42, which premiered in 2012 at the Kissinger Sommer . On October 7, 2012, his 3rd symphony "Universe" was premiered in the Great Festival Hall in Salzburg . In the works Gezi Park 1, 2 and 3 (op. 48, op. 52, op. 54) he musically processed the violent crackdown on the protests in Istanbul's Gezi Park in 2013/14 . In the preface to the score by Gezi Park I , Say u. a .:

“On the evening of May 30th, thousands of people gathered in Gezi Park to give their voice to the protest. They are cheerful and represent the modern face of Turkey. You are here for freedom and the crowd is rushing. Thousands of voices ring out; there is hope. Kurds and Turks, Alevis and Sunnis, believers and unbelievers have gathered in the park. The aim of their solidarity is to protect the park. At five in the morning, the police drive a heartless and inappropriately violent act against the protesters. The democratically minded citizens of Istanbul hear this news and take to the streets against it. This was an uprising that Turkey has never seen in its history. Millions of people gather in Istanbul's Taksim Square, in Besiktas and in the Kadikoy districts, in Ankara, Izmir and Adana, and begin weeks of protests against the government that make the world sit up and take notice. "

In addition to his musical work, Say is the author of two books.
