To Assy
*2023 stock* This album is more like a collection of Fairouz's greatest hits. But the difference between this one and others like 'Very Best of' is that Ziad Rahbani (Fairouz' son) went through a very long process of re-recording all the songs with all new instruments. That made the simple songs sound orchestral. The album is dedicated to Assy (Ziad's father and Fairouz's husband) who passed away in '86. The booklet of the CD contains some photos, articles and quotes by Ziad, Mansour and Fairouz…
Lebanon For Ever
*2023 stock* Fairuz and the Rahbani Brothers love Lebanon sincerely. Their talents reach new potentials when they write songs about their beloved country. Something which Ziad criticizes very much. He says that they built a great place in their songs which long gone immigrants, for instance, didn't find when they returned. Maybe that's why he didn't include any of those songs in his and Fairuz's tribute to Assy. But certainly there is a lot of truth in the Rahbani songs. Times change and the Rah…
Jerusalem In My Heart
*2023 stock* The album in a whole is a mixture of different feelings, grief, pain, hope and glory. The quality is great except for the single live song. There is no doubt that this album should be in everyone's collection.
At The Royal Festival Hall London
*2023 stock* Imagine you're standing in front of Royal Festival Hall in London on 13th of June 1986. It's 7:30 PM. It doesn't take long to realize it's one of the greatest summer nights of that year. Fairuz is performing in there. It really is something. While the Olympia album had the Rahbani brothers influence, this one was conducted by Ziad. The musical arrangements of the songs are very clear to be of Ziad. It seems that these same arrangements gave Ziad a lot of help when he started working…
Al Mahatta - Highlights
*2023 stock* For brilliance in ballad-singing, indefinability of genre, art and sheer gorgeousness of voice, Fairuz might be compared with Sarah Vaughan. Throughout her career she was, among other things, a major star of musical plays. This release comes from one such -- and from 1974, arguably the peak of her career prime. It is also the last composed by her late husband, Aasi Rahbani.
Good Friday Eastern Sacred Songs
* 2022 Stock * Fairuz, who sung during her youth regularly with a church choir, gives to these Good Friday hymns stronger and deeper dimensions: with her exceptional voice, she expresses the emotions and feelings of all believers. Remastered official reissue, comes on 180 gram vinyl.
Loulou - Highlight (LP)
* 2021 Stock * Reissue of the musical play composed by the famous Rahbani brothers, originally released in 1974. Loulou (Fairuz) is ruled unjustly for the murder of a man “Younes” and her innocence is proved one month before the completion of her fifteen years sentence. Upon her release she tells her story to “Gergie” the Shoes Shiner (Nasri Shamseddine) who goes around the town to spread the news of her being freed. Residents run to welcome her and to inform her that they were forced to testif…
Mais El Rim - Highlights - Piccadilly 1975 (LP)
A Fairuz classic! A musical play by the Rahbani brothers and originally released in 1975. Zayyoun (Fairuz) is driving to her village “Kahloun” for the wedding of her cousin, bringing the wedding dress with her. But her car breaks in a village called “Maïs El Rim”. She tries hard fixing it to continue her journey, looking for Naaman (Elie Choueiri) the mechanic. But Naaman closed his shop because of an on-going dispute between his family and the family of his beloved Shahidi (Hoda Haddad), both f…
La Gardienne Des Clés (LP)
Superb epic live album from 1972, by the Lebanese legend Fairuz. "The King of Sira Ghayboun (Antoine Kerbage) is known for being good, fair and caring for his devoted people. In reality, his people are living under threat of jailing or slavery should they refuse to pay the multiple taxes that are set by their King. The latest tax called « The King’s Share » grants to the latter half of all of his subject’s possessions. Zad El Kheir (Fairuz), a young girl from the Kingdom, has no money to pay …
Bayaa El Khawatem (LP)
In a peaceful village, the Mayor (Nasri Shamseddine), invents the mystical figure of Rajeh, telling stories to villagers about the exploits and harms Rajeh is willing to do and that he is heading to the village. The mayor claims that his bravery and constant fight with Rajeh are preventing the latter from reaching his goals. The Mayor informs his niece Rima (Fairuz) of the truth. Rima, who did not agree on it, went with the fable as it was not causing any damages.
Two smart men, Fadlo (Joseph N…
