It was so melodious that after parking my car I continued to keep the radio on to find out who was playing. I heard these unforgettable words, Carlo Domeniconi and Koyunbaba and that the legendary classical guitarist John Williams (not to be confused with the composer John Williams of StarWars, ET, Raiders of the Lost Ark fame) was playing the tune. The classical guitarist John Williams is from Australia. I later bought the CD and to my surprise there were other great compositions on the CD. Sony produced this album it is called The Guitarist. Koyunbaba on the CD comes in four parts and is composed by the Italian composer Carlo Domeniconi who composed it during his stay in Turkey.

The video below shows Li Jie, the Chinese classical guitarist playing Koyunbaba. On YouTube I found it the best among several others who have attempted Koyunbaba. Li Jie adds more elegance to the beauty of the classical guitar in the composed and lithe manner she plays her instrument. A little expression would have made the performance even better.
