Customer Reviews:
One of the great virtuosos of our time.......2006-01-05
I can't understand any comparison to Munir Bashir - Shamma's virtuosity is of a whole different order. Each note seems to have its own attack and dynamic. And his collection of "extended techniques" places him solidly in the late '20th century. Bashir is much more humble and unassuming. Sometimes I feel that Shamma approaches the overelaborated. But even if it's a bit calculated, the calculations are on a genius level. And the orphanage piece touches the heart AND the mind, on so many levels.
EXCELLENT ALBUM--exquisite musical heritage of Iraq.......2005-07-09
Not Munir Bashir, but close.......2005-05-04
The Epitome of Iraqi Sadness is Nassir's Music..........2004-08-20
Nassir traces his steps into the depth of Iraqi culture. He brings up characters in Iraqi history and makes them talk to each other, and if you knew the names, you heard the talk, and you understood.
In the piece on Ameria -called Ameria, a shelter which was hit by a US missile causing the tragic death by 'boiling' to some 400 Iraqi women and children, you can hear the children play. It's peaceful and quiet and then the air-raid sirens kick in, and it is painful...I cry when this piece approaches that part...You can then hear the swirling missile, the rush and panic of humans that seems endless, and then the lamentation...That is slow and agonizing. Peace dawns again, and you hear the Muezzin (the call for prayer), and it seems to drag you into calm, and finally, the joyful march of the martyrs to heaven...You can hear them as they ascend.
The music is rare and beautiful...What more can I say...
