5.0 out of 5 stars
"Ear-Opening",
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Music of Vietnam 1.1 (Audio CD)
Actually 4.5 stars.
For those of you who have preconceived notions about Vietnam, just take a look at this excellent disk. A few of these selections just blew my mind away. In general, the music if higher and more delicate-sounding than Chinese, with more extensive use of light percussion, bells, and (my personal favorite traditional Vietnamese instrument) the "dan bau". Some selections are mournful and lamenting, bringing to mind the countless wars wages in Vietnam over the last 1500 years. Others, like "Bird Bringing Good News", simply are bursting with joy - in fact, the instrument used in this piece sounded so much like a real bird that I thought they had actually recorded bird calls and layered it over a traditional orchestra! (unfortunately the sound sample provided here does not adequately display this amazing instrument.) The entire disc swells with the national pride of the Vietnamese. Truly great music!
