Three-Mountain Pass (2013)
Passionate and wildly talented traditional Vietnamese instrumentalist and composer Van-Anh Vanessa Vo knows where the soul of her music lies: in her left hand.
The left hand’s color and emotive quality burst through the diverse and intriguing pieces of Three Mountain Pass (Innova; release: September 24, 2013 through Naxos USA). A masterful player of the 16-string dan Tranh—a zither with moveable bridges and the springy, bending tones resembling the koto—and the pitch-bending monochord dan Bau, Vo draws on the dozens of traditional genres found in Vietnam to craft new arrangements and compositions.
