Fareed rules, but this selection is poor.

"The 1 star is for the poor selection.
I am a big fan of Fareed Alatrash and have every song he has on cassettee or cd. I can categorically state that
this cd is an awful selection that is totally unrepresentative of Fareed. Keep in mind that one cd can't possibly do justice to a genious with his depth and breadth. The selection probably has more to do with what EMI could get publishing rights for than anything else. With that said, tracks 1 and 5 are better than the other three. An excellent variety is available from specialized websites like maqam dot com (maqam.com) where I got all my cd's. There are also dedicated farid-el-atrache websites."
