Conte De L'Incroyable Amour

Part of the 'Touchstones' series of specially-priced and newly packaged albums from ECM's back catalogue. All featuring the original artwork and brand new packaging - double cardboard sleeves reminiscent of the original LPs.

Tunisian oud master Anouar Brahem's second recording for ECM is another category-defying masterpiece, blending elements of tradition and the new. He invites two Turkish musicians into his soundworld, ney player Kudsi Erguner, from the Sufi tradition, and clarinettist Barbaros Erköse, an exponent of Romany gypsy music.

Recorded 1991

Personnel: Anouar Brahem (oud), Barbaros Erköse (clarinet), Kudsi Erguner (nai), Lassad Hosni (bendir, darbouka)
