Reception
editThe 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 (Egyptian tambourine) peaks in 'The Procession'. Elsewhere, bendir (frame drum) provides propulsion. Oud, percussion and orchestra set a scorching tempo in Oasis."[4]
