Customer Reviews

Great representation of Aleppian classical music
I was enchanted and rejuvenated by this production. Most notable is the attention to authenticity and fedility to the heritage without immersing in commercialism of pop music of recent times in the middle east. I hope the group would publish more and would follow a systematic way of archiving their work to represent the rich musical heritage of Aleppo.

A nicely performed and packaged piece of Syrian music
The two CD's are beautifully bound in a booklet that describes Aleppo and its music as well its traditional houses and the Citadel. The music is pure and original. It took me back to my childhood days in Aleppo a half century ago.

A good representation of Arab/Andalusian music in Syria
I am a student of this type of music and I find this cd to be a very worthwhile purchase (this is saying a lot considering my modest budget!) Sabri Moudallal is an acknowledged master of this type of music and those who join him on this recording represent their native Syria (city of Halab/Aleppo) well. It is a good cd to provide a wide base of knowledge for any listener interested in this region or just anyone interested in listening to good music. A cd for all -- just wish the company could ship it here sooner!
