Doux Zen is undoubtedly the most sophisticated album that Charbel Rouhana has composed to date. Still laden with poetry, this new album expresses a surprising fullness. It holds the essence of his remarkable experience as a master musician of the oud and it showcases his maturity as a composer.
Charbel Rouhana is joined in this Oud duo by Elie Khoury whose sensitivity and virtuosity are interwoven in the delicate knit of the melodies and harmonies that form the body of this work. The album exceeds what oud aficionados expect to hear as it creates a new dimension in composition and playing. The compositions are intricate and wide in scope “from the baroque period to the present” and the virtuosity of both musicians is supreme.
