Oud Player | Syria | Mohannad Nasser

"The delicate alchemy that binds these sounds together is complex and fascinating. The first time you listen to it you feel you need at least a couple of more new ears to be able to revel in it all. But after three or four sessions of breathless listening, the dazzling richness of this remarkable work of art begins to reveal to you. It has everything: imagination, charm, virtuosity, contrast, surprise, breakthrough harmonies, outstanding musicians in a thrilling state of grace!! You name it. Al Hamra has already become one of my favourite albums ever!"
