Ihsan Ozgen is sometimes regarded as the new Cemil Bey: the turn-of-the-century performer and composer noted for his brilliance on a variety of instruments.

Ozgen is a self-taught musician and performs on kemence, lavta, violoncello and tanbur.

He has studied and mastered the works of Tanburi Cemil Bey.

He has studied the techniques of playing the violoncello and violin and has applied new techniques to the playing of the kemence; such as new left hand positions and bow techniques.

Ozgen 's fame is usually associated with his kemence playing and melodic taksims (improvisations).

Ozgen's kemence playing brings out soft, full and rich sounds from this instrument.

This album is totally dedicated to Ozgen's kemenche playing.
