Kundun

This is truly one of the most amazing deep Tibetan chants I have ever encountered. The first time I heard it, after a short period of time it took me to a deep trans state. Since then I'm looking everywhere for this kind of music. Not only from Lama Tashi, but many others. If you want to feel the essence of what the world can give you, than this is one of THE ways to go!

The Soundtrack features the film’s original music composed by Academy Award nominee Philip Glass (The Hours, Notes on a Scandal, The Illusionist, Koyaanisqatsi, Kundun).

Philip on Film: Filmworks by Philip Glass Review by Richard S. Ginell
In conjunction with a fall 2001 touring film festival, in which the Philip Glass Ensemble played the composer's scores live in sync with the films, Nonesuch released this handy, compact five-disc retrospective of Glass' prolific output for the cinema. Perhaps subliminally aware that Glass' large film catalog is wildly uneven in quality, producers and longtime associates Kurt Munkacsi and Michael Riesman have chosen wisely and well, generally giving the best scores complete or nearly complete attention on the first four discs and saving the fifth disc for excerpts from others, as well as a few unreleased new works for the faithful. Of all of Glass' cinematic collaborators, director Godfrey Reggio seems to have brought out the best in this composer.
