what a wonderfull succes in trying to put these two different worlds together. And I hope more people will work on that. This is one world and Mozart will lead you in another world. Arab and Western. Fantastic. Impossible not to listen once a day.

5.0 out of 5 stars An intriguing journey, December 31, 1998

This review is from: Mozart in Egypt (Audio CD)

What a fascinating collection -- Middle Eastern sounds interwoven with familiar Mozart tunes. This "meeting" of East and West results in an exciting auditory adventure. Anyone who has travelled the Arab world will find an instant affinity. The "local" instruments and voices are simply marvellous! Let them carry you away. (I only WISH it was available in the U.S. We've had to order ours from Europe! Get with the program, Amazon.com...!)

This review is from: Mozart in Egypt (Audio CD)

I love Arabic music, especially Egyptian. I didn't know what to think of "MiE", and decided I'd reserve judgment until I listened to it. After I was done. I was amazed. I was enthralled by the reverance of culture in most Arab music but also the enthralled by the embracement of the West. This album delivers. I recommend it to anyone, especially those who are studying Eastern music.
