Chinese Traditional and Contemporary Music

by Wu Man

Overview

Wu Man's second solo album is a slightly more mature effort that places the pipa master in a more refined chamber music setting, accompanied by Liu Qi-Chao on flute, Yang Yi on plucked zither, and Tien-Juo Wang on bowed violin. The quartet works exceptionally well together on songs like "Niao Tou Lin (Birds in the Forest)" and "Xiyang Xiaogu (Flute & Drum at Sunset)," crafting lush, exotic melodies packed with vivid imagery evoking playful wildlife and gorgeous Far Eastern landscapes. Overall, a captivatingly accessible introduction to the mesmerizing music of China. ~ Bret Love
