5.0 out of 5 stars developing "thai ears", October 27, 2001
This review is from: Ancient-Contemporary Music From Thailand (Audio CD)
You don't have to be a scholarly music student to appreciate this 2-CD set; rather, by simply being open, mindful and reading the introductory material on Thai music traditions by Bruce Gaston, you can let yourself succumb to the enchantment of this ancient and at the same time very modern music. It is at once as beautiful, exotic and yet recognizable as the profusion of orchids cascading from trees in a Bangkok garden. Be open to the music and develop "Thai ears" to listen with.

For those of us who have spent time in Thailand, it is an aural and textural trip back to paradise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Serious Thai music, February 25, 2001
This review is from: Ancient-Contemporary Music From Thailand (Audio CD)
These CDs are serious!! Not for anyone who searching for easy listening things you've find in many Thai imagse. But you're hearing a compilation pieces of arts which not easily to get along with but it worths to, in my humble opinion these music (not include the westernized pieces which present in these CDs for educational purpose) could compare with the works of great composers like Bach, Marler, Messiaen... to name a few.
