fantastic cd .......2007-01-13

FANTASTIC CD OF POP ARABIC MUSIC SONGED BY NANCY AJRAM STAR OF LEBANON
ARABI MUSIC FOREVER.

Pretty good album.......2006-04-04

I recently bought this CD, and I love it already. I had to go to Amazon.com to tell everyone about it:

1.)Akhasmak Ah(We might quarrel):Catchy song with a good dance beat. She used the song to realease the album and I can see why. After hearing it, I easily considered it the best song from the CD. It's one of those "can't get out of your head" songs.
2.)Nasseto Garh(I made him forget his wounds): I got tired of this song quickly due to the fact that it starts off with this annoying beat and the song doesn't kick in untill half the time. She uses a baby voice to sing it and the music is louder than her voice.
3.)Yay(The charm in his eyes): It's very catchy and she sings the song in a heartfelt way. The beat is also very lively. It's the best after Akhasmak Ah.
4.)Inta W Bas(You are the only one I loved):Why was this song even on the album?? No catchy lyrics, slow beat, and the song went nowhere. It was almost boring to listen to it.
5.)Ya Salam)How wonderful):This is probably the "slow song" of the album. It's also one of my favorites from the CD. This may be the one song on the album where she actually "stretches" her vocals.
6.)Ahla Jaw(A wonderful atmosphere): Definetley NOT one of the best. It was propbably just recoreded to lengthen the album. She seemed to be trying to make another Akhasmak Ah, but it didn't work out. It was just tacky and corny.
7.)Eynan Tara(When eyes can see): Not bad. She sings in this song rather than tunefully talking like for the rest, and it's got a pretty good dance beat. It's up there with the best songs.
8.)Inta(You):The "dance club" song of CD. It has a good drum beat and the lyrics aren't bad. Recommended for dancing.
8.)Ashkarballi(Nonsense): It starts off like a really old song that I would never listen to, and sorry to say, it doesn't change from there. The entire song was a flop that started off with a beat from the 80's. The song is just what it means: nonsense!

All in all, it was a good album. Very energetic and happy. Best arab pop album out there despite a few dislikeable songs.

good cd:).......2004-10-23

I just got the cd today. I'm glad to see that it has arabic& english lyrics on the cd cover inside on the pages..my favorite song before was akhasmak ah on this cd but that was only because I've only heard that and part of ya salam. I really like yay now:)to people who want to hear 30 second samples of her songs, http://nancyajramonline.com they also have lyrics on it but it's in arabic...I got this very fast, too. I ordered it on october the 18th and today is the 22nd:)well have a good day!

Large collection for the price, but not perfect.......2006-07-30

As with these sorts of all-inclusive collections, there are issues to be had with 'National Anthems of the World' as performed by the Swarovski Orchestra. Primary--to me--is that these performances and arrangements come off as being rather sterile and bland, though it's perhaps not surprising since I doubt very much that most of the nationalities of the nations represented here have citizens actually in the Swarovski Orchestra. There's little of the passion that a national band or orchestra would have in playing their own nation's anthem, much like listening to a generic studio band play play a collection of college fight songs (and there ARE CDs of those out for sale as well).

That said, this 2-disc CD set does offer a wide spectrum of national anthems, though it does a far better job of covering European nations more so than any other region. For instance, Central America is poorly represented in this collection as is Africa which, aside from Cameroon, the heart of that continent is conspicuously ill-depicted. But the biggest omission is China; neither the mainland or Taiwanese anthems are included in this set. Considering that The People's Republic of China is the most populous nation on earth, as well as a global political and economic force to be reckoned with, even in 1996 (this CD set dates from 2004, but at least one online database list the contents from the mid-1990s), this is a glaring oversight in my opinion.

The final gripe deals with the included documentation. Each of these anthems DO have titles to them, none of which the producers of this collection ever bother to mention and provide. One has to go to Wikipedia or some other resource to look up the actual name of the anthems included here. This is information that is relatively cheap to research and out of courtesy to the consumer should've been provided for this set, especially since this collection has been around in some form for over a decade already.

For the money, it's a fairly good buy for those who want a collection of national anthems. But the producers could've done a better job of compiling the contents of this collection, and what music there is would've certainly benefitted from a bit more impassioned play.

Swarovski Orchestra did an excellent job in this compilation. I work in Foreign Service & I use this CD to play US anthem & the host country anthem during events. Unlike other compilations which shorten the pieces, this offers full-length pieces saving me from embarrassment.
