COMPILATION

This is an exceptionally beautiful recording of the spare, graceful small-ensemble music known as "silk bamboo" for its instrumentation of stringed instruments and flutes. All five main regional styles are represented in these recordings made largely in China over the last decade by members of the amateur music clubs that are the backbone of the style. Included is very complete general and stylistic notes. ~ John Storm Roberts, Original Music
