A cracking CD, 17 Oct 2007
I bought this CD as a follow up to a recent holiday in Lebanon and just love it!
I am not familiar with her other music, but will certainly be buying more - what better recommendation can there be?
Lovely voice and fine songs. Don't be put off by the fact that there are only 7 tracks - they are not short and you get over 50 minutes.

The second-greatest Arabic singer in the world...ever!, 11 Nov 2001
By A Customer
A great retrospective of a great great singer - for this reviewer she is easier on the ear than the arguably greater Omm Kaltoum, a amoother and sweeter, and some might say, blander voice. A good selection of tracks, songs in honour of the great Arabic cities, all composed and arranged by the Rhabbani Brothers, recorded live in the last 15 years which proves she is still in fine voice in her old age. Highly recommended.

the sound of lebanon, 7 Oct 2006
all i can do in this review is say words that to me describe these songs and this wonderful lady, i'll stop when i run out of steam; smooth, lush, comfortable, loungey, gorgeous, deep, insightful, sweet, wonderfully accompanied, caring, almost mother-goddess like, understated, passionate, perfect!
Fairuz is the only vocalist who to me is able to rival Karen Carpenter in terms of tone quality, breath control (sorry, don't mean to sound so technical, but it is breath control), and delivery. In fact you know what, I think she might even beat KC! From me that's saying something (sorry Karen).
