"This
extraordinary album is especially striking as it presents the
celebrated Liu Fang, acknowledged master of the Pipa, as she now
shines brightly in her mastery of the Guzheng. In this collection
she has taken some of the gems of both classical and folkloric
modes and given them an exquisite personal expression that is
both original yet well grounded in a traditional musical base.
What
makes this album all the more valuable is the essay on the Guzheng
by the renowned ethnomusicologist and sinologist, Lucie Rault
(Musée de l'Homme, Paris) including the very fine translations
in both English and French of some great relevant classic poems
from the Chinese."
- Gabriel Safdie, company director, poet and playwright, former
professor of literature
