Music reviews of Now Sounds of the Middle East
Music Review: The aoud & the finger-drums at their best and worst
Rating: 3 Stars
Well...if you gotta have your dose of bastardized Beatles ("Yesterday") to get the other, more unfamiliar Middle Eastern stuff down the gullet, I suppose this is one way to do it. The aoud-picking here was delightful, with a fine backup ensemble, but the producers or artists apparently couldn't resist pandering to the suspected pop instincts of the typical buyer, so we get a couple of little pitches to the lower common denominator to lengthen our attention span. I really liked the aoud playing here; it was lively, authentic, virtuosic at points, and this really was a fun album for someone just becoming aware of Middle Eastern music in its more lively incarnations.

Description of Now Sounds of the Middle East
Originally a clarinetist, George Mgrdichian learned to play the oud out of necessity. His early recordings pioneered the introduction of oud music to the west. Now, his technically magnificent performance and varied musical styles captivate audiences worldwide. His recordings champion the versatility of the instrument in many musical forms, from traditional to jazz and re-interpretations of contemporary hits. This album represents a collection of Mgrdichian's simultaneously traditional and innovative style, ranging from Middle Eastern melodies of various national origins to classic rock covers.
