5.0 out of 5 stars The Complex Tones of Traditional Music, January 12, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Music of Vietnam 3 CD Boxed Set (Audio CD)

Viet Nam is most often identified with communism and with war, which is a pity, because the music of Viet Nam is as expressive and as complex as pieces written by Bach or Beethoven. This title is wonderful, with highlights coming by way of Cung Dan Dat Nuoc (Track 1) and Qua Cau Gio Bay (Track 7). Wonderful music for meditation, for dinner or just as background for great conversation.
