Epic, mystical, enchanting, exotic, classy... .......2007-03-11

Cafe Arabesque has it all. This is a beautiful mix of downtempo tracks of African and Arabian flavour. No filler, no cheese just an excellent selection of tracks appropriately sequenced and superbly mixed an an exotic journey of peaks, troughs, twists and turns you're going to want to take time and time again. While some tracks are more upbeat than others which are more chilled, they all blends into one very beautiful journey.

So if you're looking for something a little different for your downtempo collection, this CD is guaranteed to please. If you like this try Claude Challe's Flying Carpet which is similar and also excellent but not as good as this stellar release.

This is one of the most original and best mixes I've heard in quite a long while. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Exquisite.......2006-02-04

Park Lane Recordings knows how to put together a world fusion compilation set. They have a knack for uncovering fabulous artists. No cheesy pseudo-fusion here. This is the good stuff.

Cafe Arabesque, an entry in their Cafe series, follows up their amazing Cafe Arabica box set with more Arabian and North African influenced music. While a few of the 22 songs are only marginally arabesque, all of them are superb. The majority of tracks are downtempo lounge, though a bunch are upbeat dance tunes. The blends and transitions are good. Though mostly electronica, there are healthy amounts of traditional acoustic instrumentation that gives the music a warm feel.

This CD is a big hit with my listeners and I highly recommend it. Better than Buddha Bar.

classy, nifty, lengthy, worth it.......2005-11-01

I've listened to a whole lot of world-music explorations... records that are interesting attempts to team up electronica with ethnic musics. Whoever put together the Cafe here picked a batch of great downtempo-ish tunes for this flavor-of-the-middle-east-ish double cd. Maintains goodness throughout!

p.s. Fans of the good Thievery Corporation stuff should really appreciate this.

The finest music for guitar and orchestra NEVER written.......2003-03-25

Here excellent Naxos guitarist Gerald Garcia (check out his "Latin American Guitar Festival" and "Brazilian Portrait" CDs) teams up with conductor/arranger Peter Breiner to produce a highly enjoyable collection of music for guitar and orchestra.

Here Breiner takes some of the best known piano works of Debussy and Satie, plus some items from Faure's orchestral output, and presents them in lush original arrangements for guitar and orchestra. The arrangements work best when they are simple. On a few they're a bit over the top, and for that the recording loses one star, but for the most part Breiner provides fine backings for Garcia's beautiful and sensitive playing.

Highlights include the two Satie "Gymnopedies", Debussy's "Le Fille Auz Cheveux de lin", "Arabesque", and "Reverie", and Faure's "Pavane" and "Sicilienne": all beautifully played and arranged.

An original idea, nicely executed with only one or two questionable moments. Should appeal to fans of classical guitar and French classical music.

ambient sounds.......2001-07-27

cafe arabesque is a superb budget priced c.d. it has 14 tracks of excellent instrumental music, lasting over one hour, great for listening in the car. the musical content covers a variety of styles and sounds and immediately took me back to a recent trip to egypt, where i could again imagine i was. in the markets, in the desert at the pyramids, it was all there. the only critism about the c.d. is the lack of credits. who played on the c.d. who wrote the music and what did they play, if that had been included the c.d. would have had 5 stars.
