5.0 out of 5 stars Exquisite vocals intense material, November 5, 2000

This review is from: Tibet Tibet (Audio CD)

I've owned Tibet, Tibet by Yungchen Lhamo for 3 years. It's very beautiful music. Too intense for playing as background for home socializing, though. Best in private listening. Her voice has a magnificent range, full articulation. It's deeply sad at times. There's a certain heart-wrenching quality in Tibetan refugee women's household singing, the normal daily singing a woman might do when fetching water or stirring the hearth... That quality once flowed mainly from broken-hearted lovers but now it flows from all who have lost their connection to their land. Yungchen Lhamo has that quality in powerful measure. Her name means "great symbol of the protector goddess." Powerful name, powerful voice.

5.0 out of 5 stars a voice that will melt your heart, March 22, 2001

This review is from: Tibet Tibet (Audio CD)

though she sings in tibetan (a language i don't understand)just the sound of her voice melts my heart like the butter sculptures of her native homeland. it is so pure, so clear and so bright. it is such a delight to sit back at the close of a long hard day and shut your eyes and have the sound of her voice sweep over you. i love this this c-d so much that i went out and bought her second c-d "coming home" is well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and Haunting, May 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Tibet Tibet (Audio CD)

A simply beautiful and spiritually haunting voice from Tibet. Yungchen Lhamo has a voice that one will not easily forget. She is truly unique and, to the best of my current knowledge, one of the only women who has made a recording of Tibetan chants and prayers. Dim the lights, burn some incense and settle down to be taken away to the Roof of the World.
