So last night’s Venice to Constantinople web cast didn’t come off due to the general inability of people to get together right now.  However Beste Kalender and Ryan Harper did manage to produce a short video.  You can see Beste singing a piano accompanied version of  Hahn’s À Chloris followed by three songs by Komitas recorded by Beste with Sinfonia Toronto and Nurhan Arman.  The three songs are Cinar Es (Tall as a poplar tree), Tahsin Incirci (Varna Songs) and Al Ayloughs (My Red Shawl).  It’s a nice way to spend fifteen minutes.  The video can be found here.
