Review title: Worthwhile Arabian Classical
Product review: Deben Bhattarcharya is justly noted for his wide-ranging field recordings, the majority of which are folk music. Here we have the classic Arabian taqsim and maqam in quite creditable performances from the 1950's and 60's. Regrettably, the first half of the disc is a sort of "introduction to Middle Eastern instruments" that tips more toward educational than entertaining. Beginning with "Hajiz", however, we get stimulating ensemble work from the order of Syrian dervishes that sets the musical juices flowing.This is a worthwhile purchase, but there are all-dervish recordings I'd choose as an introduction to the genre.
