4.0 out of 5 stars Nice, but a bit too polished, November 29, 2001
This review is from: Erhu Classics (Audio CD)
There's no doubt that Chen Jun is an excellent erhu player. My only problem with this album is that its a bit too slick. I think the modern arrangements are a little too "atmospheric" at times, but its not obtrusive and is still quite pleasant. The backing is from the Central Virtuosi orchestra.

Some outstanding pieces include "Shaking Red Candle Flame," and "Horse-Racing" which is, as I'm sure you can imagine, completely frentic in pace and energy.

While there are other erhu albums I prefer (namely Jie-Bing Chen's "Spirit on Two Strings" and a few others that take some digging to find) this album is still excellent. And for [price] who could complain about anything you get! A fine disc, even if a bit overproduced.

4.0 out of 5 stars The beauty of the Erhu..., April 3, 2001
This review is from: Erhu Classics (Audio CD)
Lovely album, the pieces are a very good representation of the best to be found in erhu music. I especially recommend Sunshine on Tashkurgan, there's a certain Mongolian flavour to it, very exotic... All the pieces are quite technically demanding, yet displaying the erhu's beautiful tone to the greatest advantage. From the popular Erquan and Galloping Horses (Zhan4 Ma3 Ben1 Chi2 in Chinese) to the rarer Sunshine, this CD covers a rich spectrum in the erhu repertoire. A great buy!
