 Modern Scores of Traditional Themes October 30, 2007

I've been searching for a CD of uncompromising traditional/classical Chinese music. This is not it. Most of the tracks are 1950s and 1960s performances by The Chinese Broadcasting Traditional Instruments Orchestra, with up to 70 members indeed playing traditional instruments but not in traditional ensembles. Instead these are "orchestral" compositions of early Communist China, with obviously westernized musical structures. Still they are not all bad. In fact, a couple of tracks are quite enjoyable, equal to and rather comparable to the ballet suites of Aaron Copeland. On the other hand, a couple of tracks are pure Hollywood epic music, and for those misbegotten moons I'm deducted a star. But notice the price! If you have any taste for muiscal travel, go ahead, buy it! It's surely worth the chance.
Quite enjoyable and varied August 4, 2007

I wanted some music to accompany a slide show I was making of China trip photos. I am happy with this purchase. Many of the songs are very old and take an educated palate to appreciate (not a palate weaned on American pop tunes) but I also found some snappy ditties that work fine for any audience, and work well with my slides.
Enjoyable and lovely, but "traditional"? July 27, 2007

This delightful CD is surprisingly melodic and Western. It is "traditional" only in the sense that the instruments are traditional. Otherwise it sounds heavily influenced by the Occident. Which is not to detract from its beauty or the virtuosity of the musicians. One would have appreciated more informative liner notes.
 Where is it? April 1, 2007

I bet I'd enjoy this CD, but one month after ordering it, I am still awaiting delivery.
