Kaleidoscope - Fatma Said - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Fatma Said follows her award-winning debut album El Nour with an even more colourful release. Imbued with the spirit of the dance, Kaleidoscope spins across cultures, genres and eras, moving from Strauss, Lehár, Offenbach, Gounod, Weill and Piazzolla to Broadway (My Fair Lady) and the hits of Serge Gainsbourg, Gino Paoli and Whitney Houston. The young Egyptian soprano sings in French, German, English, Spanish, Italian and Arabic, and among her partners are the Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo and conductor Sascha Goetzel, mezzo-soprano Marianne Crebassa and trumpeter Lucienne Renaudin Vary. “Music and dance interlink as one,” says Fatma Said, “They are emotion and physicality in unison. This album is a montage of many different songs and arias, each with its own story to tell through a particular style of music and rhythm. You will encounter my voice turning and changing kaleidoscopically, giving these disparate characters the diversity of voices and musical styles they need: multiple vocal colours, dance inflections, linguistic timbres. With each of them I could have danced – and sung – all night.”
