5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best..., July 11, 2003

This review is from: Music of Mohamed Abdel Wahab (Audio CD)

There is no other description for Simon Shaheen's interpretations of Mohammed Abdel Wahab's extraordinary music. The composer was a giant in the world of Arab music for more than 70 years. Simon Shaheen's virtuosity on Oud and Violin, and his passion for this sweet music make this a recording to die for. I consider myself lucky to have a second hand copy on tape from the vinyl recording, and would be extrelemy interested in a reissue of this wonderful recording.

If you're longing to hear some of the best Arabic music, this is the CD to get. Simon Shaheen does a great job transmitting the essence of Abdel Wahab's music.

I couldn't believe it when I played this music for some non-musician, who told me, "Oh, yeah, that's belly dancing music". How dim. This is the favorite among the recordings that I own. I listen to many other kinds of music, but I play this when I want to smile and to cry.
