From http://www.simonhewittjones.com/ An Arabic version of Mozart's Queen of 1001 Nights aria, performed in Bethlehem at the 2007 MOZART PALESTINE FESTIVAL by the Choir of London and orchestra, conducted by Tim Brown with soprano soloist Dima Bawab.
I wish I got to hear this live (the recording doesn't give the piece justice)... WOW my breath has been taken away by this piece. What a performance.... Bravo to you Dima and the entire Orchestra!
Very good. But you should listen to the original piece in the disc Mozart l'Egyptien vol.2 the singer is Amira Selim, her High notes are more pure and the cadenza at the end is amazing! And it's in Arabic!
She's great singer and nice girl! I met her at the concert in the church two days ago. I wanted to sing with my choir, but I had a migraine and I felt sick. I stayed outside and she ask me 'do you feel better?' and she gave me a rose from her bunch :]
It's a pity that I hadn't got a pen and a leaf of paper or camera!
The isntruments seems to be disconnected.
