By the way, there was an excellent movie a few years ago entitled "The Band's Visit" about a classical music group of Egyptian police officers who travel to Israel to play at the inaugural ceremony of an Arab arts Center but wind up in the wrong city. It is one of my favorite movies and would have been the No.1 Foreign Movie of the year except the experts claimed too much English was spoken in it. The Egyptians couldn't speak Israelian and the Israelies couldn't speak Egyptian but the common language between them was English.

Thank you, Frank. I thought the piece was called "Masr", but I think the liner notes would be the most accurate source! I shall amend my catalogue.

If no uploads are available for now, you can listen to the piano concerto from El-Shawan Aziz (1916-83) in youtube and the symphony-ballet Osiris from Gamal Abdel-Rahim (1924-88) . This last work I like a lot.
Well discovered - thank you ! |

This may appear at first as of interest only to myself but.......
over the last ten years or so I have maintained a wish-list of symphonies I could not obtain on cd. That list hung permanently around the 160-180 mark; as symphonies did appear on disc I added others I had read about.
Over the past year-entirely due to the extraordinary generosity of other collectors across the world-my list has now reduced to 69, with ten of these soon obtainable either from other members or once the record companies concerned(cpo in the case of Edvin Kallstenius and Dacapo in the case of Knud-Aage Riisager) get around to releasing their promised complete cycles.
To go from 160/180 to 59 in the space of a year + is so completely unbelieveable that I just wanted the opportunity to yet again express my amazement and my gratitude to those who put the desire to share the music they have collected and to share their love of music before any other considerations of a less noble kind :) :)
