Spirit on Two Strings |
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: Wonderful Erhu music
Comments: Fine recording. A "postcard" of musicians in the garden surrounding the Temple of Heaven.
Lively, enjoyable. |
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: Excellent erhu form
Comments: It was interesting for me to compare a couple of the pieces on this CD with the same pieces as done by Jia Peng Feng. Feng uses more contemporary instrument assistance and orchestration. Chen seems more traditional in approach. As a new listener to the erhu I found Chen's work honestly excellent. |

Summary: passionate as can be
Comments: Beautiful pieces, wonderfully performed. Unlike other recordings, this recording allows the erh-hu to show its characteristics (melodic, soulful, haunting, etc.), this, thanks to the subtle arrangement and simple accompaniment by the yang-qin instrument (no less beautiful). The sound engineer of this recording also allows for all the subtle nuances be heard. Best erh-hu cd I own. Praises to the producer Wang San-ti and the recording engineer Alexander Kavichandran. |

Summary: A Minor Correction
Comments: In my June 14th review of this marvelous disc, I erroneously referenced Jie-Bing Chen's playing on Bourbon and Rosewater. The record I meant to cite, of course, was Bela Fleck's Tabula Rasa. |
