In a long exclusive exchange, Marcel Khalife describes the principle influences in a remarkable career that has touched generations of music-lovers in the Arab world. The audacious player of the ‘oud has revolutionised the classical repertoire and is now sharing stages worldwide with his sons who play the piano and percussions. Khalife’s personal courage has been tested often, having survived a fatwa and government censorship for his compositions.
