This is the first of Aïcha Redouane's recordings to appear on a major French label, undoubtedly precipitating the later live recordings cited elsewhere.

Although there are some excellent portions to this program, and the liner notes are more informative than in subsequent issues, the overall production is more subdued & tentative.
