Our Take

Kronos Quartet teams up with Rinde Eckert and Van-Anh Vanessa Vo for a musical journey that explores the tragic events of the Vietnam War in "My Lai". This eclectic collaboration brings together classical strings, spoken word poetry, and traditional Vietnamese instruments to create a hauntingly beautiful sonic landscape.

From the opening track "Echoes of My Lai", the listener is transported to a world of pain and suffering, as Eckert's powerful poetry tells the story of the massacre with raw emotion. The Kronos Quartet's masterful playing adds a sense of urgency and intensity to the music, while Van-Anh Vanessa Vo's delicate phrasing on the dan tranh (a traditional Vietnamese zither) provides a sense of calm amidst the chaos.

As the album progresses, tracks like "Conversations with the Dead" and "Requiem" delve deeper into the emotional impact of war, with Eckert's haunting vocals and the Quartet's stirring strings creating a sense of profound sadness and loss. But amidst the darkness, there are moments of hope and resilience, particularly in the uplifting track "Healing Prayer".

"My Lai" is a testament to the power of music to heal and bring people together, even in the face of unspeakable tragedy. It is a bold and ambitious work that showcases the talents of all involved, and is sure to leave a lasting impact on anyone who listens. Hats off to Kronos Quartet, Rinde Eckert, and Van-Anh Vanessa Vo for creating a truly unforgettable musical experience.
