Reception

The Australian said "The dynamic tonal range of Joseph Tawadros's oud, his dazzling technique and articulation are equally evident in both slow and fast sections. The ingenuity of brother James's work on req peaks in 'The Procession'. Elsewhere, bendir provides propulsion. Oud, percussion and orchestra set a scorching tempo in Oasis."
