 Legendary is the word

| There have been many reviews of this album posted here on amazon by customers. Some do this album some justice, others don't. In my modest opinion, this album's content is nothing short of legendary for one reason only: it is Fairuz who is singing. This reason, in my opinion, should be more than enough to buy this CD asap. It may be true that the album's musical arrangements are not so great or the sound quality is less than optimal, but one fact is undeniable: Fairuz rocks! She makes you overlook all these minor details with that surreal voice of hers. It is a pity that a listener gets hung up on such details when all the beauty in the world of music is summed up by her voice in this album's performances. For the price of this album, you are being accorded the privilege to listen to arguably the most beautiful female voice in the history of mankind!! |

Moka voice

| Mmmm.. Fairuz' moka voice woven around a butterfinger orchestra. The recording is a comfortable presence, your room becomes the music. If you fancy Persian delights: this cd is for you. |

 Not the best recording

This album was compiled from previous live performances in the 60's and 70's. The recording is too noisy, and it's only worthwile for people who want to enjoy Fairuz's voice.
Personally, I only got that album because of the first song "ya mina el 7abayeb". I didn't find the rest much interesting.

The Lady Can Sing...

| Fairuz just has the most absolutely beautiful voice I have ever heard on a human being. I don't listen to a lot of Arabic music but I love Fairuz. As you might have guessed, all these songs are tributes to a particular Arab city, whether it's Beirut, Mina (in Egypt, Kuwait City, Amman or Baghdad. |

 The Legendary Fairuz
Submitted on: 2003-02-11 |

| A vocalist of the caliber of Fairuz deserves far more sensitive accompaniment than that provided on "The Legendary Fairuz" CD. Also the applause should have been suppressed. A traditional backup consisting of oud, doumbek, perhaps clarinet, guitar, accordian of high quality and respectful of the soloist would have been immeasurably more satisfying. I have just "discovered" Fairuz and would like to acquire other CDs by this artist but the accompaniment must be much more respectful of the artist who is apparently a legend in the world of Arabic music. |
