Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Sudan's Hamza El Din is a master of the oud (a fretless forerunner of the lute), and the man who first introduced Americans to the instrument in the '60s. On this, his first album in three years, his playing is as wonderful and mesmerizing as ever--you can almost feel his fingers touching the strings. While some of the pieces are formal and classical in a Middle Eastern manner, on others he takes flight, using his virtuosity to travel through the whole gamut of emotions in a way that would leave most guitarists in the dust. It all ends on an odd note, however, with a piece that's lovely, but almost New Age in its sweeping melodicism, and which might just (finally) break El Din to a wider audience. --Chris Nickson Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - Very Very GoodI bought this cd based on reviews and after listening to it once I bought the rest of his cd's. I have been a jazz musician for more than twenty years and before that I studied classical piano. This is as pure and beautiful as any music I have ever heard. Rating: - A rare jewelThis cd has incredibly natural sound, and is very, very beautiful. Deep dark rich bass notes, soft percussion, soulful voice.... Just awesome. Rating: - WONDERFUL OUD AND VOICEHamza El Din is quickly becoming famous. I bought this album first and really liked it but it was not until I saw PASSION IN THE DESERT that I really began to appreciate his mastery in a new light. All his albums are great. Rating: - outstanding is an understatement"A wish" is a master piece. I listened to some reviews about Hamza El Din prior to purchasing the CD and I thought that all excellent comments were still uderstatements to the beauty of this music. Highly recommended. Rating: - one of my favorite CDs!A WISH conveys a maturity in Hamza's stylings. I'm glad to see he's still creating such treasures as on this album. |
