Beautiful play matched with meticulous arrangements,

This review is from: River (Audio CD)
I've heard this sound since I was young. The distinct character of the sound evokes a certain emotion, it is not sad, nor it is melancholy, it simply tugs at your heart and then let go. I've always known it as the sound of a bowed string instrument called the "Er-Hu." I didn't know it is called "Niko" in Japanese. This album is a masterpiece not only in terms of the quality of play by Mr. Fang, but it also has the neat arrangement you expect from good Japanese musicians. My favorite is the song "Mirage of the Fall" in which the sound of the Er Hu starts with a basic pattern, then moves on into the second stanza, then when I thought that I know what's coming, it surprises me with its turn of direction, all of this before the song soars into the sky a high pitched crescendo which then intricately reconnected back to the basic pattern I heard in the beginning. Accompanied with the gothic-style guitar ballad, it creates a harmonious contrast that seems to depict the heavens and the earth. Simply Masterful!

Ethereal and slightly melancholy -- lovely!,

This review is from: River (Audio CD)
River is a wonderful musical tone poem of the orient. Although purely instrumental, oriental instruments echo human voices and create a sense of traveling on the river through high, craggy mountains, villages, and tree lined banks. It is relaxing and energizing at the same time. A wonderful CD.

Jia Peng Fang's music takes the listener to a place deep inside themselves. The place where mind, will, and feelings intersect. This is a powerful, spiritual, musical experience.
