3. Baalbeck Tells Its Story: A Special Series on This Is Beirut

Amid the ancient temples of Baalbeck, war has rekindled its embers in Lebanon. A living memory of a country that once welcomed the world’s greatest artists, the City of the Sun now trembles beneath the blows of a world losing its balance.

Through the genius of the Rahbani Brothers, the magic of Fayrouz’s seraphic voice, the virtuosity of Henri Goraïeb, and the commanding presence of Herbert von Karajan, Sviatoslav Richter, and Mstislav Rostropovich, Baalbeck tells its story in a series by Alain E. Andrea, to be discovered on This is Beirut.
