Tonight's musical selection

[janissa11]

Following the Brother, from Chinasong, performed by the Shanghai Quartet. This is a truly amazing recording of Chinese folk songs, arranged by the quartet's violinist Yi-Wen Jiang.

Crossover appeal: PERFECT for Firefly.

Here through friendsfriends and wondering is there more to be shared? I love anything to do with string quartets and this is truly gorgeous.

I just uploaded the other four from this particular suite, yes. Isn't it glorious music? Very Ralph Vaughn Williams in feel, for all that the melodies are unmistakably Chinese.

Oooh, thank you! I love it, there's this feeling of surrealness to it. I'll be off to dL the other tracks in a moment.
