Three symphonic visions of East, faith, and memory
To mark his 70th birthday, Franco-Lebanese composer and organist Naji Hakim presents an exceptional trilogy of recordings, gathering three orchestral albums that reflect the richness of his musical language, the depth of his faith, and his deep connection to intercultural traditions.
Czech Symphony Orchestra Prague
Gwendeline Lumaret, cello
Johannes Skudlik, conductor
Basques Arabesques is a musical journey where Basque sounds, Mediterranean rhythms, and Arab inspiration converge. In a symphonic and modal fresco, Naji Hakim pays tribute to his roots and the traditions he transcends through orchestral writing.

A deeply inspired liturgical album where music rises like a prayer. Composed in the tradition of great French masses, the Messe Solennelle is paired with a symphonic meditation on the Ave Maria, filled with devotion and light.

Between nostalgia and hope, Ouverture Libanaise draws on traditional rhythms and themes to build a noble orchestral architecture. A work both rooted and open, carried by the memory of a living Lebanon.
