5.0 out of 5 stars
Beautiful, calming, and almost hypnotic music, December 4, 2001
This review is from: Music of Islam 9: Mawlawiyah Whirling Dervishes (Audio CD)
I am uninitiated in the music of Islam, and decided today to purchase two albums. After sampling a few tracks from this particular album, I bought it. The other was "Lalezar - Music of the Sultans, Sufis & Seraglio" also found here at Amazon.
Now that I heard more of it on my home stereo system, I am intrigued and amazed by the beautiful music on this particular CD.
This is volume 9 of the 17 volumes comprising the set. I've been fortunate enough to have seen a live performance of Mawlawiyah music and the Whirling Dervishes, and from that experience I naturally gravitated to this CD in particular.
The Mawlawiyah music are composed and performed for the purpose of bringing all participants, including the listeners, closer to God. The music serves as a vehicle to a spiritual world.
I understood nary a word uttered on this CD, but it didn't matter. I found it strangely relaxing, and I was left longing for more.
If you are interested in world music, I believe you will enjoy this CD greatly.

Remembering Rumi, January 13, 2007
This review is from: Music of Islam 9: Mawlawiyah Whirling Dervishes (Audio CD)
When you hear the Mawlawiyah Music, your memory will go to the Rumi's Wedding with God. It is very exciting music.
