"This is contemporary oud playing at its finest - inventive, quixotic and arresting - and it should appeal equally both to die-hard lute-ophiles and those approaching Arab music for the first time."
Songlines magazine, September/October 2003
"Samir and Wissam Joubran were visibly moved when their performance was greeted by a standing ovation. (...) Breathless sextolets embellished by trills give way to suave, enigmatic syncopation, straddling the bar lines. (...) The captivating story of music, fraternity and humanity told with such empathy exerts a strong emotional hold on the audience."
Valérie Sasportas - Le Figaro, 5/08/02
"He plays with his eyes closed.
Shadows, worries and signs pass over his face.
Something is burning inside,
a thought - intense and bitter.
In the silence between the notes,
reality screams out..."
Patrick Labesse - Le Monde
