"More than 200 musicians & singers have participated in Mozart in Egypt 2, bringing together peoples from Europe and the Middle-East - a symphonic orchestra conducted by the Bulgarian maestro Deyan Pavlov, singers of international repute such as Amira Selim (soprano), a classical choir from Sofia, classical soloists such as Youenn Le Berre (flute) (who has already appeared in O’Stravaganza), and Oswaldo Calo (piano), Caire’s Ensemble, and several Eastern musicians, including Henri Agnel , one of the foremost specialist of Middle-Eastern music.
This is Mozart as you have never heard it before."

Teo, I e-mailed this one to my daughter. Figured she would love it. Hopefully I will be able to listen soon. Even Winam is giving me the synthcore message. But I'm going to get a friend over here soon to help me straighten it out.
Thank you for sharing Mozart in Egypt. I was not really familiar with that particular piece, although I have listened and like a lot of Mozart's music.

Brigid Brophy, in her fine study, Mozart the Dramatist, points out the origins of Masonic practices in the Eleusinian mysteries and Orphic myths of the ancient world. She documents the libretto's heavy debt to The Life of Sethos, a novel published in Paris in 1731 by the abb‚ Jean Terrasson. Purporting to be a translation from an ancient Greek source, this book recounts the initiation of its Egyptian hero into the mysteries of Isis. As Ms. Brophy points out, "Terrasson does not (but then one would not expect him to) explicitly connect his Isiac mysteries with Masonry; indeed, it is possible that the real influence was the other way about and the Masons borrowed hints for their own ritual from Terrasson's fictionalized Egypt."
