PUAN HAJAH RAMLAH & HAJI ABDUL RAHMAN - BACHAAN RAWI

I posted this one before and got a comment from Tim Abdellah who does the excellent Moroccan Tape Stash blog: This seems to be some Arabic religious poetry, perhaps Mawlid poetry in honor of Prophet Muhammad's birthday (so not Qur'an recitation, though the style is very similar).

MIKIS THEODORAKIS - PABLO NERUDA - CANTO GENERAL

Canto General is Pablo Neruda's tenth book of poems. It was first published in Mexico in 1950, by Talleres Gráficos de la Nación. Neruda began to compose it in 1938.

"Canto General" ("General Song") consists of 15 sections, 231 poems, and more than 15,000 lines. This work attempts to be a history or encyclopedia of the entire American Western Hemisphere, or New World, from a Hispanic American perspective.

The "Canto General" has been set to music by several musicians.

The best-known musical setting is by Mikis Theodorakis, a composer and politician from Greece. He completed four movements in 1973, recording these the following year. In 1975 and 1981, he expanded the work to seven and thirteen movements, respectively, recording the complete "oratorio" live in Munich in 1981. Vocals, in Spanish, on the incomplete 1974 recording are by Maria Farantouri and Petros Pandis.

This album was recorded live on August 13, 1975, at the Karaiskakis-Stadium, Pireus and on August 16, 1975, at the Panathinaikos-Stadium, Athens, by Polysound Studio.
