"Tran Van Khe, a reknowned expert in traditional Vietnamese music, displays his mastery of the genre in this magical CD. Anyone with an interest in the culture, music or language of Vietnam should listen to this CD. Poems and songs of lost love, passionate reunion and longing to return to the native land give this CD a universal flavor. I especially enjoyed Nho Rung, (Nostalgia for the Jungle) a poem about a caged tiger, from the tiger's view. Nang Nhac, (The Muse) ends the CD with a sense of wonder and joy."
