Enchanting.......2007-01-10

I've heard Yuval Ron's Ensemble at a Cultural Festival in Juarez, Mexico. They had some CD's to sell with them but they went off right away...i could not get a chance to buy one at that time...Fortunetely i found it at Amazon and now im enjoying this beautiful music from middle east.

Peace through Music.......2006-09-29

The list of review excerpts is entirely accurate. The ensemble sets the tone of this album with a hauntingly sweet solo Armenian dudduk, which the ensemble soon joins into a nostalgic, slow dance. The oud continues the improvization, and before we are aware of it, we are transported to another place and time. The feeling and enchantment persists through the CD, whether clearly Israeli Jewish or Arab Sufi, or influenced by Turkish, Egypian, or Sefarad songs. The tempo is a fairly consistent andante, with an occasional allegro or largo. Do not expect rollicking dance music. The subtitle of "Sacred Music of the Middle East" is validated, for peace and brotherhood arises. Yuval Ron is a recipient of many grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Rockefeller Foundation and has lectured extensively.
