Recommendation

استمتعت بمهارات هوانغ بيونج-كي في هذا الألبوم. مقطوعة ‘Dalha Nopigom’ مذهلة للغاية وتظهر الصنعات الفريدة للغة الغاية في الدقة، واضحة عند الاستماع إليها على سماعات الرأس. أيضاً قضاء وقت رائع خلال استماعي بينما كنت أستريح.

Just got Hwang Byung-ki’s new album. The blend of sounds is really refreshing. You can feel the authentic gayageum tones in each track, especially ‘Dalha Nopigom.’ Great addition to my music collection! I’m glad I bought it and will listen often.

Słuchałem tej płyty podczas gotowania. Dźwięki są przyjemne, ale można by się spodziewać mocniejszego brzmienia instrumentów. Myślałem też, że opakowanie będzie lepszej jakości.
Bram – Den Haag, Nederland –
De muziek is rustig en maakt mijn dag beter. Sommige nummers hebben interessante geluiden met traditionele instrumenten. Mijn voorkeur gaat naar het tweede nummer, de tonen zijn fijn om bij te relaxen. Bezorging duurde wat langer dan verwacht, maar alles was in goede staat aangekomen.

Ce CD de Hwang Byung-ki est magnifique. Les sons des instruments sont clairs et touchants. J’ai particulièrement aimé la technique d’enregistrement, ça change tout pour l’écoute.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this CD, but the sounds are really unique. It feels different listening to it than regular music. Some tracks got pretty intense, like The Clock Tower one—totally catches you off guard. Packaging was a bit plain though; just came in an envelope.

The music has a calming vibe. Some tracks were more engaging than others, but overall it’s enjoyable. I found the earthenware bowl recording interesting for its unique sound capture.
