The best ney recording!

"I don't know if this is the best, but this is a recording that just takes the top of my head off. The beautiful breathy tones of the ney seem to swirl around and around. There are pieces that are slow and almost seem to make time stop. The duets are subtle -the two neys seemlessly blending and complementing each other.I also enjoy the hypnotic and propulsive selections with the frame drum accompaniment. If you like quiet meditative music with great heart give this a listen."

Beautiful!

"
A beautiful and masterful album played by two leading ney masters. This album entres you into a pure world of contemplation and sufism with the humane sound of the ney, and with some of the most beautiful classical compositions for this instrument. Recommended for those who want to feel the magic and beautifulness of Middle Eastern sufi music!"

Sufi Music Kudsi Erguner

"I wanted to hear more of Kudsi Erguner's playing of the ney flute after his appearance at Australia's Melbourne Arts Festival in October 2008. Although I hadn't heard him before, his playing of the ney has a quality which is both intense, yet somehow calming. My only previous brush with Sufism is confined to reading Rumi's poems, so I am don't claim to appreciate the musical origins or basis within Sufi mysticism in either this type of poetry or music. That said, the CD was a very enjoyable introduction to melodies and rhythms from a musical tradition which it seems is deserving of greater attention by Western audiences."
