Chinese Bamboo Flute Music

Jun 07, 2010 11:18




I was just wandering around in a mall and saw a music store, so I went in and this is the least expensive Chinese CD I could find.  (It was $5.)  Of course, American stores don't generally have Chinese CDs with vocals and this wasn't an Asian store, so there were only instrumental CDs.

From the title and cover, one may think this would be just dizi and xiao music, but this album also includes huqin (e.g. the erhu), the guitar, the synthesizer, and some other instruments.  The flutes, though, are the most important part of the album.

I suspect that this album is the same as this album, which is why I tagged the MP3s with Chen Zhongshen as the artist.  The tracklist is exactly the same for both albums, but the artist isn't listed on the US version.  Apparently, this is what Chen Zhongshen actually looks like:
