5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful all the way through,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mystical Garden (Audio CD)
This is a truly amazing CD: nary a boring or un-original track in the whole bunch. There's a lot of variety, from the raucous "Shaskin" (the zurna, the featured instrument, is typically played at large outdoor events) to the beautiful, flowing "Hasret" (which always compels me to pick up a veil and start improvising), Keane's lovely "Magic of the Evening," and the mystical final piece. The musicians are all terrific -- listen for the kanun player, who's a genius, although I'm also quite taken with the percussion solos. The whole album is highly listenable if you're not a dancer (although I wouldn't call it "background music"; you DO have to pay attention!). And if you're a dancer, don't put it on unless you've got an hour free. My Middle Eastern dance teacher had a party at her studio. We've been learning a choreography to "Shaskin," so we ran through that. Then someone started the CD again from the beginning -- and, the whole 66:19 minutes later, we realized that we were STILL dancing!

excellent conveyance of the eastern spirit,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mystical Garden (Audio CD)
A most pleasing and soothing collection of musical pieces which captures the sometimes elusive, but sensuous, Islamic aesthetic.

This review is from: Mystical Garden (Audio CD)
I had doubts before buying it. Thought it was not what I was looking for and hoped that it doesn't come out to be boring. Some intrumental turkish songs, eventhough beutiful, do really bore you after a while. But this is really cool! I liked 2nd track and #10 and others too. I am now a fan of Omar Tekbilek:)
