MUSICAL TRANSFIGURATION
LE TUAN HUNG and LE THI KIM

This CD presents an acoustic journey across the soundscapes of Vietnam, from the majestic sounds of court music to the subtle flow of lullabies, from the haunting voices of chanted poetry and classical chamber music to the lively rhythms of village festival songs, and from the sounds of the past to the present. Pieces of court, classical and village music are realised in the authentic performing practice of Vietnamese musical tradition in which personal touches and improvisatory skills have always been appreciated.
