| Quote: | | Bells, drums, and stones are found among the earliest archeological founds of musical instruments. Since second millennium B.C.E. percussion instruments have been used in China in religious, court, and popular music. Pure percussion music soon followed. The percussion music of Thundering Dragon (with five hundred instruments in all, including bamboo, wood, bronze, iron, and elephant-foot drums, gongs with voices of winds, tigers, and dogs, and bells and rattles), which builds primarily on the traditional popular music of China, combines depiction of nature with humor and virtuosity. |
| Quote: | | In hearing a CD of percussion music from China, it is difficult to avoid comparing it with Japanese percussion music, thinking of such groups as Kodo or Ondekoza. There are obvious similarities, but differences as well. One simple yet obvious difference is a cymbal which has a unique and typically Chinese sound (heard first on track four). One other difference is that Chinese percussion is not as dynamic and energetic as Japanese percussion, at least on this CD. This being said, the character of this Chinese percussion music is typical, alive, highly entertaining, dramatic, and even delightful and very expressive. An excellent CD. ~ Bruno Deschênes |
| Quote: | | The traditional and original percussion music on this CD go places where western avant-garde percussion music has often tried for but rarely succeeded in reaching. Using percussion neither as a repetative dance rhythm nor as a way to escape the confines of both the tonal and 12-tone system, the music on this CD is both narrative and highly visual (the titles are often specific visual scenes that the music represents). This is done in sophisticated but accessible music that is friendly to the ear but also engaging to the mind. Some highlights includes "A Tiger Sharpens it Teeth" and "Squabbling Ducks". This has been an inspirational CD for me that finds its way into my player over and over again. |

| Quote: | | Traditional Chinese thought sees the universe as a single, living system, all of whose parts influence each other. In the same way all expressions of human culture are woven into the structure of the cosmos and into all life processes. That applies to music as well, in a very special way. The instruments qin - a kind of zither that original had five strings (corresponding to the five basic elements in Chinese philosophy), a ritual instrument - and zheng - a twenty-one-stringed arched zither - are masterfully played by two musicians from mainland China, Xiaoyong Chen and Huihong Ou, in this selection of traditional Chinese music. |

Duuren Uuriintuya - female voice
Orkhonbaatar Chinbat - ever buree, male voice, höömij, tsuur, shaman bells, shigshuur
Gereltsogt Jamba - limbe, tsuur, tovshuur, male voice, höömij, damar, denshig
Ganburged Bukhchuluun - morin khuur, male voice, höömij

Ganbaatar Enkhzaya - yoochin, female voice, shigshuur
Gankhuyag Uyanga - khuuchir, female voice
Gankhuyag Solongo - yatga, female voice
Gankhuyag Natsag - male voice
| Quote: | It is devoted as well to two types of songs, the magtaal or praise song, and demonstrations of various styles of höömij throat singing. The praise songs include one dedicated to the man known in the West as Genghis Khan, here called Chingiss Khaan. Some of these songs are long, up to nine minutes as on track 3, a song in praise for the tribe of the Oird -- this one is a whole suite of mini-songs in different tempos and many styles of throat singing.
The rhythms and melodies on this disc sound as though they're influenced by other forms from around the world, but I'm pretty sure they're not. Nevertheless, one of the sections of the Oird praise song sounds Scandinavian, another dedicated to a mountain named Jargalant sounds like a one-chord blues with a near-rock beat, and yet another, "Setgemj" or four mountains, sounds for all the world like Mongolian doo-wop! Another song from western Mongolia has both male and female voices and is in three-four time. The final track is 11 minutes long in many sections, including spoken prayers, lots of shamanic rattles and drums, the full instrumental ensemble and many voices, in praise of their homeland, spiritual and temporal rulers and artists of the past, and Buddhism.
As with all of these recordings from Face Music, the liner notes are quite good, including translations of the songs and an explanation of the instruments, vocal styles and the country's history and geography. Quite impressive. And again, considering the youth of the musicians, musically impressive as well. |

Dalian Opera Troupe
The Peking Opera: The Forest on Fire, The Princess Hundred Flowers
Buda Musique 92618-2, 1994 (?)
The Forest On Fire
1. Scene 1: Denouncing The Usuper At The Wedding
2. Scene 4: Stopping The Royal Charriot On Its Way
The Princess Hundred Flowers (Unabridged)
3. Scene 1: Giving A Sabre As An Alliance Token
4. Scene 2: Giving Orders To The Generals
5. Scene 3: Falling In The Trap
6. Scene 4: The Disparition Of A Flower
| Quote: | In European opera it is difficult to imagine the full scope of a piece from the music alone. In Chinese opera this is even more so because the performers must combine physical feats along with the singing. Acrobatics, martial arts, weaponry, dance, acting, singing and even slight of hand are integrated into the story. And in most Chinese art creative interpretation is usually discouraged and robotic mimicry is prized. Actors in the opera must not only be able to sing and do all else but they must also perform exactly the same way as their predecessors. So hearing the music alone allows only a fraction of the experience that opera fans enjoy in the theater. But it is worthwhile.
I recall hearing a few treasured lp albums of The Forest on Fire and Princess Hundred Flowers--such richness in the gonging, sonorous falsettos, and contrepuntal baritones. These qualities have gone missing in this CD. Compared to the old lps the instruments sound tinny (reinforcing negative prejudices against Chinese music) and the voices out of breath (inexplicable). It is hard to tell from listening to the CD if the fault lay with the recording process or with the performance. For the sake of the art I hope it is the former. Until a better quality recording comes along this one is better than none. |
| Quote: | | The Peking Opera has valiantly resisted the gales of Cultural Revolution. We rediscover with great pleasure the expressive voices of the loyal generals, the deceiving princes and the valiant female warriors, remarkably interpreted by the Dalian Troupe. |

Liu Fang

10. Lune d'automne sur le Palais de l'Empereur des Han (Autumn moon over the Han Imperial Palace)
11. Promenade au pays de rêves (A walk in the country of dreams)
Liu Fang - pipa, guzheng
Alla - oud
Ballake Sissoko - Kora
Henri Tournier - bansuri
| Quote: | "Silk Sound" is a collaboration between master pipa artist, Liu Fang, and three other cultural artists, who are first class musicians of their own traditional instruments. There's Alla from Algeria, Henri Tournier from the west, and Ballake Sissoko from Africa. The oud and kora, like the pipa, are stringed instruments, and are played by Alla and Sissoko respectively; while the unique bansuri flute is played by Tournier. The fifth instrument in this set is the guzheng, played wonderfully by Liu Fang (yes, she is also highly gifted with the guzheng, although her darling is definitely the pipa).
The tone set by this collaboration reminds me of what Yo-Yo Ma does with The Silk Road Ensemble, but I truly do appreciate the music of this album more, it is definitely to my liking, less congested, more focused and intimate. This is without a doubt due to the simple arrangements -- by simple, I don't mean rudimentary, but that the performances are either solos (with Liu Fang on the pipa or guzheng) or duets. The playing is impeccable! The solo performances are of reference quality; and there is great chemistry in the duets, as the artists really do respect each other -- you could really hear it in the playing, as no single individual shouts out, and the harmonies blend like sunlight on water ripples.
I have one big curiosity that puzzles me: track 7 is listed as the "Kanding love-song", but it is track 4 "Primary meeting", which carries this love-song's exquisite melody. The CD literature mentions that track 7 is an improvisation of the love-song. I know that improvisations are supposed to be spontaneous and natural, but there is very little resemblance to the love-song. Especially when in fact, track 4 is the "Kanding love-song", not "Primary meeting". There is enough additional playing in track 4 to also pass for an improvisation. Plus, the track 2 duet "Jasmine flower", is written as pipa with bansuri flute -- unless my ears have failed me, it sounds like guzheng and bansuri flute. I couldn't help but think that someone may have botched up the track listings and descriptions.
The "Kanding love-song" is one of my favourite Chinese traditional melodies, and also happens to be a song that I learned how to sing in heritage class when I was 10. This piece is one of the reasons I bought this CD.
Well, my gripe is over.
The recording is first rate: crystal clear and detailed, with fine separation between instruments. However, it is the cohesiveness of the song selections and arrangements, in addition to the top-notch performances, that really makes this album so delightful. If you want to create a mood and atmosphere that takes you to a place, even for a moment in time, away from life's daily routines, then this music will transcend you to such a place. |
| Quote: | Le Son de Soie (Silk Sound) is the new CD from a brilliant, subtle and adventurous virtuoso of two venerable Chinese instruments. Neither is commonly heard - as they occasionally are, here - with virtuosi of African, Indian and Arabic instruments. As one festival director has observed of Lui Fang, her ’technical prowess and range of unimaginable dynamics can take you from a visceral frenzy to a deep breath of silence that cleanses the spirit.’
Lui Fang plays the pipa {a pear-shaped, lute} and the guzheng {a plucked zither}. Some of this CD’s music is ancient, some brand-new. Sometimes, Lui Fang is alone. At others, she is in duet with the bansuri, the kora or the oud: respectively, a north Indian bamboo flute, played by Henri Tournier, a West African harp-lute, played by Ballake Sissoko and the fretless Arabic lute, played by Alla, from Algeria. |

| Quote: | | The Dolan are a sub-group of the Uighurs. They live in the immense desert of Taklamakan, in the center of the province of Xinjiang or Chinese Turkestan. This CD is devoted to their canonical musical repertory, the Muqam, which includes nine suites performed by three singers-drummers, a lutenist, a zither player and a spike fiddle player. This music, with its outbursts, its torn voices and its powerful drumming, evokes the Dolan village feasts and deserves its nickname of "Uighur Jazz". |

| Quote: | | The well-known Chinese philosopher and educator Confucius lived from 551-479 B.C. It was not until the second century B.C. that the imperial court and the state administration started to implement Confucius' teachings throughout China. Confucian temples, rites, and music were created and ceremonies were performed in every Chinese town and village. Although these rites, music, and ceremonies went through numerous changes (imposed by diverse emperors), worship of Confucius remained quite constant all the way to 1949 -- that is, until the communist revolution, which considered it incompatible with Maoist ideology. Confucianism was banned, but survived among the non-communist Chinese, such as in Taiwan. The ceremonies heard on this CD come from the Confucius Temple of Taipei. It almost disappeared in the first half of the century but was revived in 1964. The music heard is said to be from around the 16th century, though it went through some form of restoration in 1968 (and has been celebrated since then). There are some other places in Taiwan where Confucius is still celebrated in such a way. A taste of a 2,000-year-old historical ceremony. ~ Bruno Deschênes |

This was followed by further critical success with her second album from Chikar Studio, Upopo Sanke (2003), gaining worldwide attention. －July 15, 2004 Umeko Ando died from cancer at her hometown Makubetsu-cho, Hokkaido.
