Bechara el khoury biography of abraham
First President of the Republic Following its Independence Presidential Term: 21 September to 18 September Profile: Name: Bechara El-Khoury Date....
The first to publish his memoirs was President Bechara El Khoury entitled "Lebanese Facts".
Bechara El-Khoury was born in the war-torn city of Beirut in 1957. His works can be considered an expression of his humanistic beliefs based on Christian spirituality. He is also a poet, and was a published composer and poet whilst still a student in France at the Ecole-Normale de Musique.
Since 1987 attracted by France�s Catholicism and by the philosophical attitude inculcated in the Arts, he became a French citizen.
Description.El-Khoury has been commissioned by bodies in France and in the Lebanon, writing serious concert works and film music. He has won various prizes, for example the �Prix des Arts et de la Culture�. He has had performances all over Europe and in Russia.
With this strong pedigree it quite astonished me to realize that not only had I not even come across him before but that he didn�t even feature in the Gramophone catalogue. So three cheers and more to Naxos for allowing us an opportunity in their excellent 21st Century series to get to know his very distinctive sound-world,
