When I was young, I heard the name and was fascinated by the voice of singer Dieu Thuy. Because she was the first female soloist to record this song on the Voice of Vietnam radio, and her singing was said to be very beautiful and the most technical at that time. Singers Doan Tan, Le Dung, Ma Bich Viet were all military artists, all came from military art units to study at the Vietnam Music School, under the guidance and supervision of teacher Dieu Thuy, they all later became famous artists, won international music awards, and were all people's artists of the country...
Later, My Linh, Tan Phuong... were the next generation of students taught by teacher Dieu Thuy. If you listen carefully, even though a lot of time has passed and they have matured, in the singing of these young singers, there is always the mark of teacher Dieu Thuy, in the sound, the singing voice and the soul, a very beautiful, delicate, skillful and technical voice...
Singer Tan Phuong graduated from the Vocal Department of the Vietnam National Academy of Music, class of 2001 - 2009. She won the Silver Medal at the National Folk Song Competition in 2005, first prize at the Hanoi Voice Competition in 2006... Currently, Tan Phuong is a lecturer at the Vocal Department, Central University of Art Education.
Tan Phuong confided: “Phuong was originally a girl from Ha Nam who loved art, then was admitted to the National Conservatory of Music and studied with Meritorious Artist Dieu Thuy. Ms. Dieu Thuy is a wonderful and kind teacher who loves her students immensely. During the first 4 years of studying at the Conservatory, Phuong was raised at home by Ms. Dieu Thuy, who took care of her studies and practiced her voice every day, so she soon had a very solid foundation. After going to university, Tan Phuong competed and won the First Prize of the Hanoi Voice, then the Sao Mai Prize. From there, Phuong began her performing career, with her teacher - People's Artist Quang Tho arranging her songs and creating conditions for her to perform on stages at home and abroad. Tan Phuong is truly happy with such teachers and with her artistic path ...”.

One thing that Tan Phuong is very appreciative of is that she has repaid her teachers for everything she has enjoyed in her student life from Ms. Dieu Thuy, from Mr. Quang Tho, not only with outstanding art awards, but later when she graduated and became a lecturer at the University of Music Education, following the example of her teachers, she passed on to the generation of students she trained all her knowledge and boundless love. Like Ms. Dieu Thuy and Mr. Quang Tho, Tan Phuong has nurtured and trained many artists and soon became famous as new rising stars in the art sky, and she is always respected and loved by generations of students.
I have listened to Tan Phuong's CDs many times, such as the Buddhist music album "Ben Chan Nhu" which, as commented by Associate Professor, Dr. Cu Le Duyen, Deputy Head of the Department of Theory, Composition, Conducting - Vietnam National Academy of Music: "This is an emotional voice, listeners can easily feel the noble and sacred quality of Buddhist music, contributing to awakening the soul towards goodness, towards happiness and peace". As well as the CD "Ben que", with many songs imbued with folk colors, handled by a skillful chamber voice and strong and passionate spiritual emotions...".
But for me, perhaps the songs by singer Tan Phuong leave the strongest emotions, such as “Nguoi Ha Noi”. Many listeners believe that Tan Phuong is one of the singers who sing this classic song best, then sings very sweetly “Mother loves child” by musician Nguyen Van Ty; and especially “Xa khoi” by musician Nguyen Tai Tue. Her voice is beautiful, delicately handled, and especially passionate, as if adding waves, adding wind to the song. And because of that, I think of the generations of singers with the same middle name Tan, all excellent artists, and singing the song “Xa khoi” very wonderfully, namely Tan Nhan, Tan Nhan and Tan Phuong… Is that right?
