Album Description
Mozart in Egypt, devised by Hughes de Courson, was at its release in 1997, considered in the musical spheres world-wide as a true musical phenomenon and acted as meteorite. Indeed the musical encounter which brought together Mozart and Egypt together was unexpected and explosive! The much awaited Mozart in Egypt 2 features more than 200 musicians & singers, bringing together peoples from Europe and the Middle-East. 15 tracks. Virgin Classics. 2005.

Bulgaria in Egypt?
I can't compete with Mr. Coulardeau's literary comment on Mozart in Egypt, which says (quote): "... is conquered by this transmuted music that loses its classic muteness to capture a brand new eloquence and impressionistic power." (unquote).
I bought MiE / II here in Costa Rica, seeing it by chance in a library, while looking for a seafood book. Sounds interesting, I thought, since I like both Mozart and Arabic music. Sometimes these mergers work, sometimes not.
My great disappointment was the quality of the remastering. The orchestra parts sound dull and without brilliance, taking out quite a bit of the fun that one has enjoying the combination of both musical styles. Was it the Bulgarian orchestra? Hmmm...
Otherwise a fine piece of work with many a surprise here and there.
