This extraordinary glossy box set of four CDs and a thick book commemorates this event … [features] solo offerings from the Moroccan Said Chraibi and Egypt’s Mamdoh el Gebaly, both of whom turn in highly credible performances that would be all the more memorable if it wasn’t for the sheer wonder that follows. Disc two is devoted to two of the undisputed masters of khaleeji (Gulf style) oud playing: Abadi al-Johar and Ahmed Fathi. These players are rarely heard outside the Arab world, and to have them playing solo oud on one CD is an unalloyed treat … what makes the Muscat Oud Festival so significant is the unabashed care, enthusiasm, and—let’s be honest—cash that is clearly lavished upon it … there are considerably worse ways to spend your national budget, and this sumptuous box set is a worthy memento of the occasion.” — Songlines
