Nice, but a bit too polished

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2001

There's no doubt that Chen Jun is an excellent erhu player. My only problem with this album is that its a bit too slick. I think the modern arrangements are a little too "atmospheric" at times, but its not obtrusive and is still quite pleasant. The backing is from the Central Virtuosi orchestra.
Some outstanding pieces include "Shaking Red Candle Flame," and "Horse-Racing" which is, as I'm sure you can imagine, completely frentic in pace and energy.
While there are other erhu albums I prefer (namely Jie-Bing Chen's "Spirit on Two Strings" and a few others that take some digging to find) this album is still excellent. And for [price] who could complain about anything you get! A fine disc, even if a bit overproduced.

The beauty of the Erhu...

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2001

Lovely album, the pieces are a very good representation of the best to be found in erhu music. I especially recommend Sunshine on Tashkurgan, there's a certain Mongolian flavour to it, very exotic... All the pieces are quite technically demanding, yet displaying the erhu's beautiful tone to the greatest advantage. From the popular Erquan and Galloping Horses (Zhan4 Ma3 Ben1 Chi2 in Chinese) to the rarer Sunshine, this CD covers a rich spectrum in the erhu repertoire. A great buy!

Un disque pour voyager

Reviewed in France on December 20, 2016

Ce disque est super! Il présente une utilisation de l'erhu et des arrangements plus traditionnels que des artistes comme Jia Peng Fang (que j'adore soit dit en passant). En plus les morceaux sont assez variés. Pour tous les amoureux de la Chine traditionnelle et de sa musique magnifique, qui gagne à être connue.

wirklich gut

Reviewed in Germany on August 7, 2007

in meinen augen gibts keine "emotionalere" musik als erhu. ich kann es nicht anders ausdrücken oder genauer beschreiben wie ich dass meine. irgendweie überfallen mich beim hören traurige oder lebensfrohe stimmungen wie sonst bei wenigen anderen musikrichtungen in der weltmusik.
wer diese asiatische musikrichtung noch nicht kennt, findet hier den idealen einstieg für wenig geld.
