Rémy Francis' album Sur Le Mont Sinaï is a beautiful and captivating collection of instrumental pieces that transport the listener to the majestic landscapes of the Sinai Mountains. The album is a tribute to the beauty and spirituality of this region, and Francis' compositions perfectly capture its essence.
The album opens with the title track "Sur Le Mont Sinaï", which begins with a haunting melody played on the duduk, a traditional Armenian instrument. The piece gradually builds in intensity, with the addition of percussion and strings, creating a sense of awe and reverence.
Other standout tracks include "Le Désert", a melancholic piece that evokes the vastness and solitude of the desert, and "La Danse Des Bedouins", a lively and rhythmic piece that captures the energy and spirit of the Bedouin people.
Francis' skillful use of traditional Middle Eastern instruments, such as the oud and the ney, adds an authentic and exotic flavor to the album, while his arrangements and compositions are modern and accessible.
