About: "Cinema Beirut" is a compilation, re-mix, and re-mastering of music from the Lebanese film soundtracks of the past few years. A beautiful interplay of wind instruments in a rich and seductive orchestral arrangement. This polyphonic dialogue engages the listener as soon as the first measure of the album begins. The instruments come together in a narrative that stimulates the imagination and transports the listener into the realm of imagery and story telling just as fairy tales and movies do. A tribute to Beirut and its perpetual cinema.
