4.0 out of 5 stars Very good recording., January 24, 2007
By 
Pharaoh (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Diva of Arab Music (Audio CD)
Very crisp and clean recordings with little audience interaction which is good for when you want to listen to the music itself. Some are close to studio versions in terms of solidity and lack of air rushing past often found in concert recordings.

The small booklet included grants the audience a small insight into how her contemporaries in the entertainment industry perceived her as well as some personal quotes from The Lady herself.

Overall, worth the money and an excellent addition to a collection or to introduce someone to Om Kalthoum.

4.0 out of 5 stars amazing music, but..., April 24, 2007
This review is from: Diva of Arab Music (Audio CD)
"Amazing" doesn't begin to describe the singing on this CD. After all, it's Oum Kalthoum! BUT, the liner notes leave much to be desired. While the booklet does include rare photographs and notable quotes & accolades, there is not a single write-up about the songs themselves -- not even a rough translation of the titles! Oum Kalthoum's voice transcends language and touches the heart, but even so a CD set like this should include information about the poetry that she is singing.
