Treasures Of Chinese Instrumental Music: Guqin (MP3 Download)

Customer Review

Let me first tell you that I am neither a specialist Guqin nor a specialist in traditional Chinese music. I have just a taste for some time, and I continue to enrich discovering new music and new recordings.
Among all compilations devoted to the guqin (and there are plenty), it is among all those I know most successful in that it compiles solo recordings. Far from me the idea that the guqin is to be listened to in solo, but it still has advantages: first, it is easier to learn an instrument when played solo, let alone as an instrument for rich in potential; secondly, the solo allows a concentration of all your listening on a single partition, allowing a dense and subtle listening in the end. Finally, the economy of means is part of a form of diagram or even asceticism that I like (hence my taste for chamber music or jazz trio perhaps!).
Add to that a careful selection among the finest pieces from the classical repertoire of guqin and you end up with one of the best compilations to discover or continue to discover the guqin.
