Title: What a difference a stage makes!
Review: I saw Adel Salameh solo on stage in Paris recently, and he was brilliant. His lute play was original and captivating, his technical performance unsurpassed. So naturally the first thing to do for me right after the concert was to get his CD. I couldn't wait to listen to it, but once I did, I doublechecked the cover to see if I had really put the right CD in the player. While it is still interesting and authentic Palestinian music, his out-of-this world lute play is drowned by vocals that leave no room to his sheer brilliance. What a pity! So, if you like vocal Palestinian music it's not a bad little CD to get. But if you are looking for a solo album of Adel Salameh's, better wait for now.
