I was fascinated by your beautiful and crystal clear voice. It
is the voice of a nightingale.
Neda from Tehran
Never seen any music performed with such beauty and richness!

I listened and watched your performance at the Trinity Church in
NY and was absolutely amazed by your work and beauty.
Darius from Paris
Your voice is angelic. What a fresh look at these old folk songs.
it took me back to my childhood and to the time when my mother and her
friends used to sing some of these songs in our gatherings.
Ali from Washington DC
Your music made my tears come down my face and get goose bumps.
Monika's voice is from the heavens....
Kevin from USA
It was the best Persian performance/concert I had ever seen...
Sina from California
But your voice and the way you sang them, as you could feel each
verse, was breathtaking.
Anon. from Califronia
If the measure of a great singer is to evoke sentiments in her
audience, let me congratulate you on your greatness. As a
young exiled Iranian with deep connection to her culture and a classical
music enthusiast, your great ensemble has brought together all I love
dearly in a most awesome way. The clarity of your voice, your fabulous
interpretation of our most beloved songs and a world of memories have
caused a mayhem in me since Sunday. Let me assure you that my eyes have
not been dry since I have heard your voice and for that I thank you.
Anon. from Ottawa, Canada
I always wished that someone would use the beatiful persian poetry
and folk songs in exactly the same way you have done and are doing.
Bruce from USA
I had the pleasure of hearing your beautiful concert on the Net.
Just thinking about the concert and your powerfully angelic voice brings
tears to my eyes. I also love the choice of songs, many of which I grew
up listening to my mother sing them at parties, or as she cooked or drove
us around in the streets of Tehran in the early 70's.
Sepideh from Washington D.C.
It is the music one hears in dreams cause it is clear and pure and
truly musically singing.
Carlos from Sweden
I am actually in love with these Iranian songs now! ...and your
voice is just amazing.
Behnoosh from Vancouver, BC
What a wonderful talent,beauty and artistic grandeur. My family
and I were nailed to the monitor.
Iradj from USA
I shed tears that still I do not know where did they come from.
Anon.
I deeply appreciate you who try to show a small part of our real
culture in US.
Farhad from Canada
For the first time in so many years, your music connected me to
a place that is far more beautiful than can be defined by the confinement
of a culture. Listening to your voice and the songs that you had chosen,
it felt
like going home. A home I've never been to. A place where Iranian poetry
and music was not diluted with anything but true expression of tenderness
and beauty.
Sepideh from USA
Your performance is one of the best female performances of these
songs.
Atid from Canada
...awestricken by Monika's beautiful and mesmerizing voice and
NoorSaaz's magical music.
Shahab from Canada
Your approach to sing Iranian classical folk music with interpretation
and translation into English along
with interesting choice of instruments has given these beautiful songs
exactly what it needed; an adaptation
to what our western-attuned ears interprets as pleasant and beautiful.
