Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Stunning JazzI have a weakness for traditional Middle Eastern music, spurred by a year spent in Afghanistan. I discovered this CD quite by accident while searching for Arabic pop music this past summer. I was attracted to the bits I heard on the Amazon music player and ordered the CD. The first time I listened to it I was not entirely impressed, so I listened to it again and discovered much of the complexity that I had missed with my first preview. Too often, jazz is overly complex in both range and the number of instruments. For me, the attraction to this particular music genre is the complexity a good artist can create with only one or two instruments, and this is a complexity that Anouar Brahem brilliantly brings to his recording. I will ... Read More: Rating: - Love for lifeDescribing music is not a grateful task- one reason for skipping it in my review. However much you might know about the instrumentation, the measures, the chord changes, it'll avail you nothing until you've listened to it for yourself. In the case of Anouar Brahem's "Conte de l'incroyable amour", the listening experience is more than rewarding. The seemingly minimalistic music grips you tight when you let yourself get lost in it. This grip is in no way aggressive, it rather resembles the passionate grip of a lover. When you have the music as a background while going about your business , you won't wish for a better companion. It's not just sound in your ears- it's rather vibrations of love flowing from your speakers. The centerpiece ... Read More: Rating: - Magic solitudeWhat you will hear in this album is magic solitude. Is silence. Brahem explores the mystical sounds rooted deep inside us, and only giving these his most familiar form, through his oud. This music is born for artists, for sensitive creative people. For rare moments of true happines. Rating:  - oud masterAnouar Brahem is a Tunisian who is one of the leading present exponents of the oud, a lute-like stringed instrument. Brahem's music is anything but 'exponent'-sounding, however--he makes regular excursions into the world of jazz and crossover (a project of some years back with Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek was wonderful), along with recording pieces with a more traditional sound. This cd is langorous and exotic-sounding with a good bit of a jazz feel thrown in for good measure; it is mostly quiet, introspective and wandering (even ambient), with occasional explosions of what might be termed "rhythmic urgency." It frankly takes a bit of getting used to, but if you like unpretentious, intimate music and can get into this particular blend of North ...

Accordingly, this cd contains an aromatic history of humanity which in a way or another explore the depth of my mind, so it is really a work of glory dominated by a kind of optimism ,simply it's Dionysian ! |
