[Vietnamese Zither, Folk] Nguyễn Thanh Thủy - Vol.2 - Suối Tranh (2013) [NRG]

Suối Tranh Vol.2 is a masterful showcase of the Vietnamese zither (đàn tranh), performed by renowned artist Nguyễn Thanh Thủy. Released by Phương Nam Film in 2013, this 10-track instrumental album presents a diverse and contemporary vision of traditional Vietnamese music. Featuring compositions by notable composers such as Nguyễn Thiện Đạo, Nguyễn Chín Bính, Phạm Thúy Hoan, Kent Olofsson, and Xu Xiao Lin, the album bridges traditional folk sensibilities with modern experimental textures.

Nguyễn Thanh Thủy, already established as one of Vietnam’s foremost đàn tranh virtuosos, demonstrates her refined technique and expressive range throughout the album. From the evocative and nostalgic “Cửu Long quê hương tôi” and “U Minh bất khuất” to the atmospheric and avant-garde “Mirage I: The Persistence of Time” and “Mirage II: Reflecting Swans,” Thủy navigates each piece with both emotional depth and artistic clarity.

Composer Nguyễn Thiện Đạo’s works—including “Suối tranh,” “Khói sóng,” “Tơ đồng Trio,” and “Căn thức”—form the heart of the album, showcasing his unique blend of Vietnamese traditional idioms and contemporary classical influences. These compositions provide the perfect canvas for Thủy’s expressive performance style, complemented by contributions from đàn bầu artist Ngô Trà My, the đàn tỳ bà ensemble The Six Tones, and a đàn tranh group.

More than a simple collection of zither pieces, Suối Tranh is a reflection of Nguyễn Thanh Thủy’s continued evolution as an artist who defies genre boundaries. Her international collaborations and academic work inform a rich, multilayered approach to performance, making this album not only a pleasure to listen to but also a significant contribution to modern Vietnamese music. It is a compelling experience for those interested in cultural fusion, sonic exploration, and the expressive potential of traditional instruments in the contemporary world.
