Tibetan Music,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tibetan Buddhist Rites From The Monasteries Of Bhutan Volume 4: Tibetan & Bhutanese Instrumental and Folk Music (Audio CD)
Be advised: Tracks 13 & 14 are switched place. This CD is not really Tibetan music, but distinctly Bhutanese. If you have seen 7 Years in Tibet, listen to track 12; you will be surprised how much that song comes up in the movie. Ache Lhamo and The Horses of Jewel hill are also great, as are Bem, Lhasa Norbuling La (Lhasa Great Jewel Park), and pilgrim's song. The voice-warbling technique used so much rivals the kulwa (throat voice) chants of Tibet. These Performers are really talented. I haven't bought it yet, but since I relinqished it to my library ( kept it for months), I have not been able to find it. I also highly recomend volume 3 of this series, Instrumental and Folk Music. The first two just aren't really as good. Definitely a good buy! Enjoy!

This review is from: Tibetan Buddhist Rites From The Monasteries Of Bhutan Volume 4: Tibetan & Bhutanese Instrumental and Folk Music (Audio CD)
I have greatly enjoyed Volumes 1-3 of these recordings. They give generous samples of a wide variety of Tibetan music ranging from several kinds of chanting to traditional folk-dance types of insturmental music that include varieties of percussion instruments. The fidelity, sterio seperation and general mixing are all excelent for field recordings made in the early 1970s. But Volume 4 was a real disappointment to me. The quality is fine, but all the tracks are single (folk-song) vocals with little or no instrumentation by singers who don't sing very well. Some people may appreciate this, but I never want to hear this CD again.
