Customer Reviews:

Good recording........2006-07-04

About half of the tracks are free interpretations wich quality varies. The rest of the tracks are simple and beautifull ud playing. I prefer the sound of this recording to Munir Bashir or Deria Turkan recordings. D. Turkan can be very expressive but Munir Bahsir picks a little too strongly on his strings.

To resume, the ud played here has a beautifull sound and is played with talent. Don't be put off by a few inferior or just different tracks.

Some misguided interculturalism.......2000-06-27

Six items on this CD are oud solo pieces and they are nice, melodic and well-played. Particularly the first, inspired by pharaonic music, is a gem. But the ensemble pieces are a bad exemple of Eastern musicians soaking up Western influences and creating an amalgamation that is neither here nor there. These works lack substance and direction and are musically unconvincing.
