Turk - galerija

Osim što se uspješno bavi vinogradarstvom, Josip Turk iza sebe ima dugotrajnu i bogatu glazbenu prošlost.Glazbom se je počeo baviti od najmlađih dana, završivši i srednju glazbenu školu (truba), a već 1957. godine počinje s profesionalnim nastupima, najprije u Mariboru, a zatim i po mnogim dugim mjestima bivše Jugoslavije. Svira i na brodovima "Istra" i "Dalmacija". Početkom šezdesetih svira u Hotelu "Istra" u Varaždinu, a izgradnjom novog Hotela "Park" počinje razdoblje najintenzivnijeg bavljenja glazbom, koje će potrajati sve do početka osamdesetih godina. Mnogi stariji čakovčani, zasigurno, pamte to vrijeme! Još i prije dovršenja Hotela Park, u ljetnim mjesecima održavane su svirke na otvorenoj terasi starog čakovečkog kupališta. Od 1967. godine, uz grupu BOHEMI, Hotel Park postao je popularno mjesto okupljanja ljubitelja dobre glazbe, ne samo iz Čakovca, već iz cijele regije. Gospodin Turk rado se prisjeća tih vremena, kad je čakovečki hotel nerijetko bio premalen za sve zainteresirane posjetitelje. Osim s grupom BOHEMI, Josip Turk povremeno je svirao i s popularnom čakovečkom grupom DEMONI. Otprilike istovremeno s početkom sviranja u Hotelu Park, g. Turk osniva LIRU, poduzeće, odnosno udruženje glazbenika. LIRA u početku djeluje regionalno, da bi se ubrzo poslovanje proširilo na širi dio bivše države i posluje s većinom ondašnjih glazbenih zvijezda. LIRA je uspješno djelovala do sredine devedesetih godina prošlog stoljeća, kad zapravo počinje i novo razdoblje, odnosno preorijentacija na vinogradarstvo. No, glazba je i dalje gotovo svakodnevno prisutna u obitelji Turk, bilo da se radi o spontanim svirkama na raznim proslavama i svečanostima u koje se Josip Turk rado uključuje (kao što je to vidljivo i u ovoj galeriji), ili pak o zaštitnom znaku njihovih vina u kojem dominira gazbeni instrument lira.

Neben seiner Weinherstellung blickt Josip Turk auf eine lange, reichhaltige musikalische Vergangenheit zurück. Seit seiner frühesten Kindheit begeisterte er sich schon für Musik und spielte Trompete an der mittleren Musikschule. Bereits 1957 trat er damit öffentlich auf, zunächst in Maribor und in der Folge in vielen Städten des ehemaligen Jugoslawiens, auf den Schiffen "Istra" und "Dalmacija" und Anfang der 60er im Hotel "Istra" in Varaždin. Dort begann mit dem Bau des Hotels "Park" die Zeit seiner intensivsten Beschäftigung mit der Musik, die bis in die achtziger Jahre andauerte. Viele ältere Bürger von Čakovec erinnern sich sicherlich noch gut an diese Zeit! Noch vor der Fertigstellung des neuen Hotels "Park" wurden auf der offenen Terasse des alten Schwimmbads Konzerte abgehalten. Seit 1967 wurde mit der Gruppe BOHEMI das Hotel Park der populäre Treffpunkt für Liebhaber guter Musik aus der ganzen Region. Josip Turk erinnert sich gerne an die Zeiten, als die Hotels für die begeistertenten Besucher zu klein waren. Mit der Gruppe BOHEMI spielte Josip Turk ebenso wie mit der bekannten Gruppe DEMONI aus Čakovec. Er gründete den Musikerverein LIRA, dessen Tätigkeit sich über den ganzen damaligen Vielvölkerstaat verbreitete und arbeitete mit sehr vielen arrivierten Künstlern zusammen. LIRA wirkte erfolgreich bis in die Mitte der 90er Jahre, als der Musiker Turk sich der Weinherstellung zuwandte. Die Musik aber blieb in der Familie Turk weiterhin allgegenwärtig im täglichen Leben, bei Feierlichkeiten und Festen. Einiges davon zeigt die Fotogalerie. Die Weinherstellung firmiert natürlich unter der Schutzmark des Instruments Lyra - LIRA

Besides his successful vine production, Josip Turk has behind him a long and interesting music history. He started to deal with music from very early days, graduated trumpet at Music School, and already in year 1957 he started to play in clubs across former Yugoslavia, as well as on several boats along Adriatic coast. At the beginning of sixties he return home and first shortly played in nearby city Varazdin, and than, after new hotel was built in Cakovec, he started to play there with popular group Bohemi. During period of almost 15 years, Bohemi and Josip Turk performed constantly in Hotel Park, which during seventies became a place where lot of people spent their evenings (and nights) enjoying a quality music - not only Cakovec citizens, but music fans from all neighbour regions. Mister Turk reminisces this time with truly pleasure, because quite often hotel premises were not big enough for all interested fans. From time to time, Josip Turk also performed together with DEMONI - the most popular Cakovec band of that time. Approximately in the same time when he started to play in Cakovec hotel, Mr. Turk founded a company LIRA, which took care about musicians and music activities, at the beginning regionally, but soon all across former Yugoslavia. The company successfully operated till the middle of nineties, when Turk family decided to start new business in vine production and tourism. But, music is still very much present in everyday life of Turk family - somethimes in spontaneous music performances during various happenings at their place (what you can see in the gallery), but also in the label of their vines, with noticeable music instrument lyre .
