Radyo Üslûbuna Dair Bir İnceleme: Ruşen Ferit Kam ve Vecihe Daryal Bayati Peşrev Örneği
An Analysis of the Radio Style: The Case of Bayati Peşrev by Ruşen Ferit Kam and Vecihe Daryal

Summary/Abstract: Ruşen Ferit Kam and Vecihe Daryal, both recognized as leading figures of classical performance, devoted the greater part of their careers to Istanbul and Ankara Radio. Through their performances as well as their pedagogical activities, they significantly contributed to the shaping of radio music and emerged as pivotal agents in the formation of what came to be known as the “radio style.” Their joint recordings, which may be regarded as historically significant within the broader trajectory of Turkish performance practice, are particularly valuable in that they provide fundamental insights into this stylistic formation. In this context, a Bayati peşrev composed by Seyfettin Osmanoğlu and performed collaboratively by the two artists was selected as an illustrative case study. Specific passages were transcribed, enabling the identification of several noteworthy findings. The research was conducted using document analysis, a qualitative methodological approach. The results suggest that the artists, while adhering to the principal tones, employed ornamental figures; that they tended to favor similar embellishments when performing shared notes; and that they constrained interpretive divergences in the teslim passages. Taken together, these features point to a shared aesthetic orientation that extends beyond a merely notation-based performance.
