This review is from: Song of the Black Earth (Audio CD)

I was lucky enough to hear a live performance of Song of the Black Earth when the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra visited Birmingham in March 2008. The energy of the narrative singing from yueqin maestro Feng Shaoxian was an absolute joy and his performance was the highlight of the evening. For anyone who has never heard Chinese narrative singing before, this recording is a perfect starting point.
