In 2019, I began to think about making concept albums. Of all the ideas I developed, one of the most potent was that of collating works that we would like to listen to in the morning and evening. This was the sentiment behind the creation of the albums Morning and Evening.

Consequently, for both albums I sought out music that I found to be reminiscent of either morning or evening, choosing pieces that embodied the unique joy and melancholy of these times of day. In the process, I added some new works alongside those I have been performing live for many years.

Shortly before the pandemic, I recorded these pieces at the Mozarteum Hall in Salzburg, separating them into two albums. I think I have shaped a delightful array, in which each piece is expressed with my own interpretative style. For me, they are all beautiful pieces of music.

Morning – Evening by Fazıl Say presents solo-piano pieces handpicked by the pianist himself to capture the moods of these opposing times of day: from when life awakens in the morning to the closing of the night.“There have been mostly baroque and early classical works on the radio in the mornings since my childhood. I used to start the day with the beautiful melodies and rhythmic energy of baroque music. Therefore, I particularly wanted to have many music pieces from this period in the Morning Piano collection. … As for the Evening Piano collection, I’ve listened to orchestral music most often in the evenings throughout my life. I usually listen to the works of the Romantic period and late-Romantic period composers, as well as French impressionist composers. Therefore, although all the music I have chosen is for piano, there are works with a highly orchestral structure among these pieces … These are works with a very intense harmony—because harmony provides unity and, at the end of the day, we seek this integrity in the music we listen to. In other words, it takes shape as rhythm and melody in the mornings, and as melody and harmony in the evenings.” – Fazıl Say
