"It could be a meeting on a winter's afternoon in a hotel bar or one that takes place in the privacy of a mutual friend's home. Somewhere out of the limelight. And if such a private meeting were between the French singer Barbara and Lebanese singer Fairouz – two personally reticent and extraordinary women – it would be one conducted with modesty and a mutual, respectful willingness to share intimate thoughts. Dorsaf Hamdani singing Barbara and Fairouz is not an invitation to witness a duel between two divas on the stage at Madison Square Garden. "I wanted them to talk together, one to the other" she says.
