Rich Female Vocals On 180g Vinyl LP!
Featuring Vision String Quartet On "Dawood Hosni"!
The young Egyptian soprano Fatma Said, praised for the luminosity and rich colors of her voice, makes her recording debut for Warner Classics with El Nour. Her enticing and absorbing recital program crosses cultures, combining art songs by French, Spanish and Egyptian composers with Egyptian folk songs and popular songs from the Middle East. As she explains, "'El Nour' in Arabic means 'Light', and this album sheds light on how music that has been interpreted many times can be perceived in a different light. The idea is to connect three cultures - Arabic, French and Spanish - and to show how much, despite cultural, geographical and historical differences, they have in common when it comes to music."
