ANGEL
by Joseph Tawadros

Joseph Tawadros never ceases to amaze and at 24 seems to have achieved more than most. With a Freedman Fellowship under his belt, two Young Australian of the Year nominations, two Limelight Awards, four ARIA nominations and four albums to his name. He continues to appear at festivals and concert halls throughout the world, dazzling audiences with his brilliant technique, his passionate musicianship and his joyous style of performance.
He has toured with the Australian Chamber Orchestra and performed with celebrated artists such as Richard Tognetti and the ACO, Slava Grigoryan, Zakir Hussain, Riley Lee, Katie Noonan, Lior and Neil Finn to name a few.
Now Joseph joins with three of Australia's finest virtuosos; his prodigiously talented brother James Tawadros on percussion, celebrated jazz pianist Matt McMahon and Greek clarinettist Dimitri Vouras in this very special recording - transporting us into another world with the magical sounds of the oud.
The music featured on ANGEL, his 5th album, was all composed by Joseph when he was in Paris, London and Istanbul in 2007. It is a collection of original, rhythmically complex yet relaxed and highly imaginative compositions dispersed with soulful improvisations.
It is a CD of musical maturity beyond Joseph's years and places him squarely in the ranks of the world's greatest Oud players.
