5.0 out of 5 stars A highly successful blend of East and West- as Rumi, July 27, 2003

By	May Rihani (Beirut, LEBANON) - See all my reviews

I listen to this CD often since I purchased it because Rumi's poetry means so much. I highly recommend it because it blends Eastern philosophy and instruments with Western music. The blend of Persian and English reading must be pleasing to Rumi. It is not an easy task to take an old language and cast it into modern terms without losing something -- but I believe this has been achieved. The composer and performers have produced a tribute to Rumi -- and one we can share with pleasure. Not only is it easy to listen to, but it is filled with Rumi's timeless love. Highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Full of love and beauty, May 4, 2005

By	Jasmine Nazari (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

I listen to this CD constantly. The melodies support the meaning of the lyrics perfectly. The readings in two languages are mesmerizing. It is refreshing to hear a westerner sing in a natural style without attempting some half assed Eastern imitation. The blend of East and West here is natural and appealing. I highly recommend this CD to everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars A CD that aids the process of mediation and devotion, May 19, 2003

By	Robert L. Emrich (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These renderings remind me and bring me back to the times when I felt God's love and complete acceptance and understanding. They are true to Rumi's passion and love. They blend the east and the west. They are beautiful songs sung to our Divine Beloved.
