2018New Turkish Original bdg. HC. 4to. (29 x 23 cm). In Turkish. 352 p., color and b/w ills. Ben Leyla Gencer: La Diva Turca. Ünlü keman virtüozu Isaac Stern Ilk 79 Yilim adli kitabinin önsözünde söyle der: "Müzigin hizmetine girmek bir meslek edinmek degil, bir yasam biçimidir. Bunun için iki seye sahip olmalisin: Birincisi, ne olmak istedigin hakkinda küçük yastan itibaren kesin bir fikre; ikincisi, o isteginin gerçeklesmesi için gereken özgüvene, mücadele gücüne ve gurura." Iste Leyla Gencer in müzik serüveni bu düsüncenin hayata yansimasi olmustur adeta. Safranbolulu bir baba ile Polonyali bir annenin kizi olan Leyla Gencer Çubuklu da dünyaya geldi, Fransiz dadisinin çokkültürlülügü ve evde piyano çalan annesinin söyledigi Lehçe sarkilar araciligiyla henüz hayatinin ilk yillarinda müzikle tanisti. Soprano Arangi-Lombardi ile çalismasi hayatinin dönüm noktalarindan biri oldu. Ilk opera temsilini Ankara da verdi. 1953 te Italyan radyosundaki kaydiyla da ilk kez sesini dünyaya duyurdu.Leyla Gencer, küçük yasindan itibaren sahnede olmayi aklina koymustu. Özgüveniyle, çaliskanligiyla, savasçi kisiligiyle hayatini bu fikre göre sekillendirdi. Opera kültürü olmayan bir ülkeden çikip, bu kültürle evrilmis bir ülkenin, Italya nin ortasinda kendini ispat etmek için verdigi mücadelelerle, tam yirmi bes yil boyunca operanin mabedi sayilan La Scala nin prima donna si oldu. Sonraki yirmi bes yil da, ölünceye kadar, egitimci olarak opera dünyasina hizmet etti.Zamaninin büyük sopranolariyla girdigi rekabetle, tarihi sefler ve rejisörlerle birlikte çalismasiyla, büyük bestecilerin gölgede kalmis yapitlarini kesfetmesiyle, repertuvarindaki yetmis üç opera ve canli temsillerden kaydedilen sesiyle yirminci yüzyil opera tarihine geçmeyi basaran La Diva Turca, bugün de Divalarin Divasi olarak anilmaktadir.Ben Leyla Gencer La Diva Turca kitabi, sesiyle ve dramatik gücüyle iz birakan sanatçiyi kisilestirerek kendini var etme yolculugunda yasadigi coskularini, hayal kirikliklarini, sevinçlerini, acilarini kendi agzindan hikâyelestirirken, okuru operanin coskulu yillarina götürüp müzik dünyasinda bir yolculuga çikariyor.
