Album Reviews: Reminiscing With Fairuz

Reminiscing With Fairuz
A very nostalgic album that's more than worthy of its title. You've probably heard at least one of the songs here even if you can't recognize the names. I say this because even though some of the songs I haven't heard before, I feel like I've known all my life. Although some may complain about the technical quality of this CD, I think this low quality adds to the nostalgic, vintage feeling of the songs. The booklet has some pictures and a couple of articles. There is also a nice illustrated catalogue of the Fairouz albums available from Voix de'lOrient. Mind you that there are a number of other albums released on other labels, most notably 'Kifak Inta' which is available from Ahmed Moussa.

All Songs were written by: The Rahbani Brothers. But there is also a number of songs based on traditional music and poetry.
