In 2002 the Israeli singer Noa sang for a sold-out theater Carré. Those who could not be there would never find out what they had missed. Because strangely enough, this superstar only released her first DVD four years later: Live In Israel. During this concert, which was recorded in April 2005, her accompanists play almost as important a role as Noa herself. Guitarist Gil Dor - with whom she has
… collaborated for fifteen years - and percussionist Zohar Fresco are given every opportunity to amaze the audience with their virtuosity. According to Noa, these two masters together with the Neapolitan Solis String Quartet form the ideal accompaniment band. In any case, the fun and enthusiasm splash off the screen. And Noa herself? She once said that she regretted that beautiful singing often equates to superficiality. She will not easily be accused of that. (MH)more
