3.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality album. It looks pirated!, April 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Legendary Fairuz (Audio CD)

This album fails to show Fairuz' and the Rahbani Brothers' musical greatness. The low quality of the album is one reason, and it's because it was recorded poorly from live concerts. If you want to learn about Fairuz, check her album 'The Very Best of Fairuz'. It contains the most popular songs that everyone enjoys. I think that album works the best as an introduction to the music.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic vocals, schmaltzy instrumentation, June 10, 2000

"galexy3" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Legendary Fairuz (Audio CD)

Fairuz must have one of the best female voices in the Arab world, but the overly sentimental instrumentation seems inappropriate and distracting. I would have loved to hear her beautiful voice with a more traditional, non-Western orchestra. If a recording of that nature exists, someone please let me know about it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD, November 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Legendary Fairuz (Audio CD)

This is a great example of classical Fairuz. Each song in the CD is dedicated to an Arab city and sung live, demonstrating the Lebanese singer's popularity through out the Arab world. She is truly a legend! Make sure you check out her other CD's such as "Kifek Inta," a beautfil example of Lebanese Jazz.

Don't buy it, unless you're dying to hear Feiruz like I was. Her voice gets so monotonous after a while. I gave the CD away!
