Jadal Banning Eyre reviews the latest recording by the Lebanese composer Marcel Khalife. The work features the Arabic lute, the oud. It's entitled "Jadal: Oud Duo" and it's part of Khalife's on-going attempt to create a solo instrumental repertoire for the oud, which is traditionallly used as a backing instrument for a singer. Eyre finds the piece, which runs just over and hour, to be addictive!
