It's fantastic! and much recommened.

You might be interested in a 1993 2CD collection on Wergo/Welt Musik (Germany) 
called "Judische 
Lebenswelten: Patternes in Jewish Life". Along w/ a lot of ashkenazi stalwarts 
(The Epsteins, Brave 
Old World) the first half on disc 2 features Sephardic cantors from Yemenite, 
Morrocan, Syrian, 
Turkish and Jerusalemite traditions, complete w/ lovely Kanun accompaniment.
