5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful music from the Far East worthy of your attention, October 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Chinese Bamboo Flute Music (Audio CD)

This cd in part was instrumental in my understanding and now great delight in traditional forms of Chinese music. I also have a cd of nice Japanese bamboo flute tunes, but I far prefer this delightful collection of melodies (my favourite is the first track, but they're all gems) that spring from one of the most ancient instruments in the world in one of the world's most ancient styles. Play this when you're reading, studying, relaxing - whatever. You won't be disappointed!

2.0 out of 5 stars Very good sometimes, too electronic at others., September 30, 2005

I was, overall, disappointed by this CD. There are many good reviews here, but they generally overpraise. Tracks 4 through 8 have too much synthesizer for my ears. A major highlight is track 9, The Crab and the Egret, but interestingly, the flute is accompaniment to the wondrous Chinese percussion. Disappointingly, the CD is only 40 minutes long and left me wanting more tunes without synthesizer accompaniment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Little piece of our daughter's heritage in our car, July 2, 2005

I bought this because I thought this cd would be nice to listen to in the car while on out and about. I love that our 2 1/2 year old daughter who is from China loves this cd and will request it "Chinese Flute" please. This is just one way to keep her heritage alive and expose her to different kinds of music beyond the Wiggles & Lilo & Stitch CD.

I would have liked to have had more information on the songs like what province of China. But not having this information really does not lessen the rating of 5 stars! Our family thinks this is an excellent cd.
