Fatma Said records Ravel: Shéhérazade, M. 17: II. La flûte enchantée

Ravel’s song cycle Shéhérazade is reimagined for piano (Malcolm Martineau) and ney flute (Burcu Karadağ) on soprano Fatma Said's debut album, El Nour. Discover: http://w.lnk.to/elnLY

"The ney’s timbre and minute expressive nuances are so similar to those of the human voice," explains Fatma, "that the combination of flute and singer really does sound like an intimate conversation between two people in private."

El Nour (النور , or "The Light") explores music of Western and Eastern origins through an enchanting program of French, Spanish, and Arabic songs. Joining Fatma in these recordings are pianist Malcolm Martineau, guitarist Rafael Aguirre, the vision string quartet, and a jazz ensemble including traditional Middle Eastern instruments: Tim Allhoff (piano), Itamar Doari (percussion), Henning Sieverts (double bass), Tamer Pinarbasi (kanun), and Burcu Karadağ (ney flute).
