5.0 out of 5 stars The ney is the most haunting instrument., October 8, 1999

It is also one of the oldest, dating to Egyptian times, and apparently very difficult to play. The pieces here are short but the album flows along like a warm breeze over the land. This is secretive music, with many hidden dimensions which lead the listener to unsuspected places of thought and experience. Sparse, yet sophisticated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Evocative of live performance, September 19, 2005

Experienced Hossein Omoumi live, and this CD is an excellent souvenir of that journey. Also an aid for the uninitiated to begin to appreciate Persian Classical Music. Fairly accessible to a person raised on European Classical Music. Mystical, trance-inducing. Fascinating liner notes with a fingering chart for the Ney flute.

You only have to listen to this CD once to fall in love with it.
This is a must own regardless on what taste you have.
