China - Classical & Folk Music (CD)

SA141224

The music played by the virtuosos of the Chuantong Orchestra – gu-zheng (plucked zither), dizi (bamboo flute), erhu (a two-stringed spike fiddle) and yang qin (a hammered dulcimer) and voice –is captivating and melodious.This is an original, authentic testimony.
The history of Chinese music goes back to the dawn of civilisation. The earliest known writings in which it is mentioned are those of Confucius (551-479 BCE), but there is evidence of a well-developed musical culture dating from much earlier than that.
The world’s oldest musical system was developed in China. Chinese music is notated without staves, and notes are represented by numbers and characters.
The different styles of Chinese music have always been associated with the imperial dynasties.
Orchestras and groups, playing popular music and art music, are to be found all over China.
The Chuantong Orchestra, which comes from Kunming in the province of Yunnan (southwest China), is composed of virtuoso musicians, playing the gu-zheng (plucked zither), dizi (bamboo flute), erhu (a two-stringed spike fiddle) and yang qin (a hammered dulcimer); in some of the pieces they accompany the magnificent voice of a lady singer.The orchestra appears in China and on stages all over the world, in a repertoire of classical and traditional music.
