I actually bought this to use as background tracks for digital show on trip to China. I had a number of Chinese CDs, but this one is really excellent. The variety of moods and the angelic voices are a pleasure to hear. I especially liked the happy "Fiery Horses" song.

I own this CD, and another CD -- the "GREATEST CHINESE FOLK SONGS" by Bears Children Choir.

On a scale on 1 to 10, I rate this CD as a 2.
This CD sound artificial. The instruments sound like cheap synthesizers.

The other CD -- the "GREATEST CHINESE FOLK SONGS" by Bears Children Choir is much better. The children's voices are pure and natural. The instruments in the background do not overwhelm. it is an 11 over 10.

I was looking for Chinese music CDs for my kids to learn Chinese. This CD has beautiful singing and music. What it doesn't have is songs suitable and easy for very young kids. My children still enjoy listening to it, they just can't really sing along since the arrangement of the music is more complicated.

This cd has really exceded anything I had hoped for. The Beijing Angelic Choir is awesome. I plan on getting more of their music very soon...!

This is my first CD with Chinese music on, so I made every effort not to make it a bad first impression. Luckily, you can have a foretaste of the music through those 30 second samples that amazon provides. And yes, the quality of the singing voice is excellent and the recording clear. However, the background instrumental is pretty horrible on some of the tracks. Probably, it was a low budget project and they could not hire proper musicians with acoustic instruments or at least with a quality synthesizer. Sometimes it gives you the feel of computer music in the first part of the 90's. All in all, the songs are well worth the money, but if you want to experience real Chinese instrumental music, try, for example, Classical Chinese Folk Music.

We bought this album for my niece. She is just two and a half but she likes music.
I think her parents are going to teach her to be bilingual in both the Taiwan language and English.
I listened to the album in its entirety and enjoyed all the music. I recommend it for children and adults!

This is sweet, but songs listed as Tibetan are not. To support Tibetan culture check out Baby Sambhota kid's videos. Thuk jay che.
