Fairuz - Jerusalem In My Heart [IMPORT]

Al Quds fel Bali

This is BY FAR my favorite Fairuz cd ever! She starts off with a beautiful soft ballad called 's'narja'ou', which means: 'We Will Return,' but then there is a climax of strings as the cd progresses and an undetterable strength in Fairuz's voice pounds the ensemble while finally rescinding back to the first song. This is a cd filled with emotion and conveyed beautiful through the music and Fairuz's golden voice. She sings in Modern Standard Arabic, (formal Arabic), which creates an undertone of dire earnestness and defiance in a time of impending oppression. I recommend this cd to anyone who loves Fairuz.

I'd give it 50 stars if there was such rating!

Fairuz needs no intro, and this album is her dedication to the beautiful bibical city, the holy city of Jersalem..
each and every song is incredible, attractive, touching. the music is so beautiful that it doesn't make you all that dependable on lyrics.
but because I'm an Arab, i think the lyrics must be translated, it is poetry in it's most romantic form.
super CD, my best and most favourite CD of Fairuz, or any other artiest! April 29, 2003
