ZEYNEP ORAL.
Leyla Gencer: A story of passion. Edited by Aykut Sengözer.
New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. (27 x 21 cm). In English. 303 p. B/w and color ills. A biographical study on Turkish operatic soprano Leyla Gencer (1928-2008); Known as "La Diva Turca" (The Turkish Diva) and "La Regina" (The Queen) in the opera world,[citation needed] Gencer was a notable bel canto soprano who spent most of her career in Italy, from the early 1950s through the mid-1980s, and had a repertoire encompassing more than seventy roles. She made very few commercial recordings; however, numerous bootleg recordings of her performances exist. In particular, Gencer was associated with the heroines of Donizetti. "IKSV presents the new English version of the Leyla Gencer biography in memory of the great artist who passed away passed last year. Authored by Zeynep Oral, Leyla Gencer-A Story of Passion has kept on luring readers immensely since its first release which resulted in 10 succesive prints in Turkey. Now the English version of the book is ready to appear in the art-lover's collection with its brand new photography and exquisite design. After four years of thorough and passionate research, the biography was first released in Turkish by 1992. Based on Zeynep Oral's conversations with Leyla Gencer and her countless acquaintances from the art scene, the book employs an ingenious, fluid, heart-whole language. With a largely chronological and fragmented storyline, this is a patchworked portrait of the artist in 100 pieces. Taking the reader back to the life and times of Leyla Gencer who made history as the true diva of the 20. century, the book evolves around her overwhelming passion "to sing" and presents how a magnificient universe is shaped by this passion. Designed by Esen Karol, the English version of the book features photographs unpublished to date and a detailed index.".

"From the perspective of our country's prestige opera and ballet are as important as theatre and cinema. In comparison with other spheres of cultural life we have a strong sense of pride in our music and performing arts which were discovered by us much earlier than in any other country of the Middle East or Far East. A nice proof of this can be found in the presented literary work, which introduces us to the detailed study carried out throughout the years by Murat Katoglu and Asli Ayhan. This substantial piece of art, which can be characterized as a brief visual history of the opera and ballet in Turkey, demonstrates the development process we got through not only in the music and performing arts, but also in the graphic arts.".

Günesin zapti. [= Pobeda nad solntsem]. Translated by Sabri Gürses. Edited by Armagan Ekici.
New Turkish Paperback. Pbo. Cr. 8vo. (19 x 13 cm). In Turkish. 64 p., color ills.; and separate booklet of illustrations. Günesin zapti. [= Pobeda nad solntsem]. Translated by Sabri Gürses. Edited by Armagan Ekici. Victory over the Sun (Russian: ?????? ??? C??????, Pobeda nad Solntsem) is a Russian Futurist opera premiered in 1913 at the Luna Park in Saint Petersburg. The libretto written in zaum language was contributed by Aleksei Kruchonykh, the music was written by Mikhail Matyushin, the prologue was added by Velimir Khlebnikov, and the stage designer was Kasimir Malevich. The performance was organized by the artistic group Soyuz Molodyozhi. The opera has become famous as the event where Malevich made his first "Black Square" painting (in 1915). The opera was intended to underline parallels between literary text, musical score, and the art of painting, and featured a cast of such extravagant characters as Nero and Caligula in the Same Person, Traveller through All the Ages, Telephone Talker, The New Ones, etc. The audience reacted negatively and even violently to the performance, as have some subsequent critics and historians. A documentary film about the opera was made in 1980.

Leblebici Horhor (Horhor the Chickpea Seller) is an 1875 Turkish-language operetta by the Ottoman-Armenian composer Dikran Tchouhadjian. Leblebici Horhor is often claimed as the first original Turkish operetta, though Tchouhadjian's Arif'in Hilesi (Arif's Trick) was at least year earlier - it is reported in 1874. Tigran Tchoukhajian was an Armenian composer, conductor, public activist and the founder of the first opera institution in the Ottoman Empire. He is considered the first opera composer in Turkish history.
