A tender masterpiece April 4, 2008
There is something incredibly inspirational about this album. I have had it for a long time and each time I play it I am taken away.
The sound of the Oud is so tender but full and Anouar Brahem is a Master at playing it. Also really lovely to listen to is the string instrument on the third track. It's very genuinely arabic sounding.
Just beautiful, buy it!

I listened to this CD again the other night - I had forgotten how good it is.

Brahem is an absolute master of the Oud (Arabic lute). On this CD his compositions are beautiful and and musicianship is of the very highest standard.

There isn't really anything else to be said. Buy it.

This is one of the greates pieces of (Islamic) Music I have ever heard. 'Barzakh' is the place that the soul goes to after death and before it enters Heaven.

There is a tradition in Islam that says the soul of a dead person will visit his or her own grave if you offer up a prayer at the graveside. There is something of that in this music. It's melodies and mood are almost religious and seem to reach up to Heaven. Each track seems to emerge out of some ancient well of wisdom.

I thoroughly recommend it.
