Customer Reviews

Muwashshah Music
I love the sound of Muwashshah music because it is the old music from many years ago before the orchestra accompanyment became popular. To me, large orchestras detract from the unique sound of Middle Eastern instruments. The vocalists of Ensemble Morkos are outstanding because their clarity of voices isn't muddled by a large chorus. If we can't have vocal harmonies in Arabic music, I'd rather listen to one voice than a chorus. Also thankfully absent in this CD is the use of echo which I find passe but apparently the Arabs are fond of. Too bad that the 30 second listening samples are not available here. I believe for the price, you will not be dissappointed you bought this CD without first listening to it.

Music of the Andalus
This CD has an outstanding collection of the best Andalusian music I've ever heard. The music is orchastrated on the Arabic maqam. Understanding the lyrics [in Arabic] is a plus, but not necessary to enjoy the music of a majestic erra in Arabic history, full of art, fantasy, and music.

Exquisitie arabic andalusian music
The beauty of arabic andalusian music is that it is so fully orchestrated. Sometimes, however, the songs become very plodding and dull. This is a remarkable exception. The performance and vocals are perfectly blended. There's not a redundant note on this CD. A must-have!
