Released in 2010, Tiếng Đàn Tranh by Việt Hồng is a graceful and evocative instrumental album that showcases the delicate beauty of the đàn tranh, Vietnam’s iconic plucked zither. With ten carefully curated tracks, this album transports listeners through a rich musical journey deeply rooted in Vietnamese folk and classical traditions, while also embracing the lyrical sensitivity of modern expressions.

Việt Hồng's mastery of the đàn tranh shines throughout the album. From the opening track “Hương Sen Đồng Tháp,” which evokes the serene beauty of lotus ponds in the Mekong Delta, to the spirited rhythms of “Xuân Quê Hương,” the music is rich with emotion and cultural texture. The instrument’s silvery tones, bending glissandi, and nuanced dynamics capture a uniquely Vietnamese sense of melancholy and joy.

Traditional genres like chèo (Vietnamese popular opera) are respectfully reinterpreted in pieces such as “Tò Vò” and “Lới Lơ,” where Việt Hồng brings both technical precision and artistic freedom to her performance. Court music from Huế is represented in tracks like “Tứ Đại Cảnh” and “Dạo Nam - Hành Vân,” offering glimpses into the elegance and refinement of imperial soundscapes.

What makes this album particularly compelling is the way it balances the old and new. “Lá Thư Tiền Tuyến” and “Trường Tương Tư” blend folk melodies with emotional themes of wartime longing and romantic nostalgia, rendered tenderly through Việt Hồng’s expressive touch. “Sang Xuân,” the closing piece, bursts forth with optimism, capturing the freshness and vitality of spring.

Tiếng Đàn Tranh is not only a showcase of traditional Vietnamese instrumentation but also a heartfelt artistic statement. It will appeal to fans of Asian zither music, cultural heritage enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a peaceful, meditative listening experience rooted in authenticity and soul.
