Excellent recording both for its sound quality and for the quality of Hilmi's performance. At the same time, he sounds very reasonable or sober ( Idon't know which of these adjectives is more suitable) and, yet, he manages to develop some of his usual trciks.

Wonderful, we now have a complet set for this dawr, with the Zonophone recording, the Baidaphon recording and the Odeon. I will be listening to the 3 different renditions to spot the differences.

I must say that the winner is for me the Baidaphon version, so inventive.
