" After Years of thirst, a voice like fresh water has arrived. A cloud, a love letter from another planet: Fairuz has overwhelmed us with ecstasy. Names and figures of speech remain too small to define her. She alone is our agency of goodwill to which those of us looking for love and poetry belong. When Fairouz sings, mountains and rivers follow her voice, the mosque and the church, the oil jars and loaves of bread. Through her, every one of us is made to blossom, and once we were no more than sand; men drop their weapons and apologize. Upon hearing her voice, our childhood is molded anew."

February 25, 2007 | | A cross between jazz and Umm Kalthoum.... | |
I'm just getting to know classic Arabic music, and up until now I've bought Egyptian stuff: Abdul Halim Hafez, Umm Kalthoum, Mohammad Abdel Wahab, Kazem al-Saher. Fairuz is considerably more Western sounding. Easy listening is generally an insult in my book, but this does sound somewhat like middle of the 20th century American pop-jazz crossed with a classical Arabic style. She is (I think) the most famous Lebanese singer, and Lebanon is a major pop culture producer in the Arab world (I wonder how the Israeli bombs have affected that?). It's surprisingly good within this style, although I think that most of the other stuff I've heard up to this point impress me even more, even if its rawer sounding. I think the Arabs like that raw emotion, even if it's a bit off-putting to Westerners. For example: Inta 'Omry (You are my life) by Umm Kalthoum. This music is less off putting.
Unfortunately, I only have this. I don't know if Fairuz sounds different elsewhere. I don't find the orchestration particularly schmaltzy, perhaps just a bit stylized....
