I first saw Damian Draghici on a PBS special from Bucharest. I must admit, I had never heard a panflutist before and had expected to be changing the channel a few short moments into the broadcast. I couldnt have been more wrong. I saw and heard a performance which was not only moving and passionate, but simply amazing. I was compelled to purchase any CD I could find by The Virtuoso. This CD, while being the only one I can find currently, is just as moving and compelling as his PBS performance. I recommend it highly.

I love this album. This is the best pan flute cd that I have ever heard. I hope that there is more on the way. Draghici is defenitely what i would call a "master of the pan flute". I am blown away by his passion in his playing. I heard Draghici's interview on NPR and I was so impressed with his story that I felt that I had to write my own review. Draghici is on his way to being a star and I am looking forward to hearing what he will have for his audience in the future. I am telling all of you out there who love pan flute or are just looking for a great new sound, go buy this cd. You will not regret it.

Best CD, Best Pan Flute Player. There is no other pan flute player that plays this instrument like Draghici. I called this CD simply the best.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS CD HAS NOT BEEN THE TALK OF THE TOWN, WHERE ARE THE REVIEWS? I JUST KNOW I LOVED IT

I was driving home listening to NPR and heard an interview with the artist. When I got home I sat in my car, unable to get out until the interview was finished.

The first thing I did was look up the CD here. Truly an amazing talent, with an amazing life, and somehow, everything that he has experienced comes through clearly in his music, which carries its own life and breath in every note.

Great CD....very unique. A crowning achievement!

A CD that you will enjoying playing time and time again.

This wasn't what I was seeking. It's nice, but for me it's too westernized. Authentic Balkan music loses a lot of its verve when softened by western european instruments. The album Folksongs of Rumania did suit me though. If you want the haunting Balkan sound "Folksongs..." will fill the bill.
