John Bilezikjian One Thousand and One Nights

John Bilezikjian – One Thousand and One Nights

This album was
recorded in February of 1976 in Van Nuys, California. The music on tracks 3, 4,
& 5 is legendary. All three are examples of classical middle-eastern music
that players of the oud know and perform. These pieces make up some of the most
difficult of repertoire for the insturment. John transcribed these works for 2
Ouds and recorded these versions for this album. In the last 26 years, these
renditions are unmatched in speed, articulation, precision, and in
interpretation for the instrument.
