Title: Early production of Li Xiangting?
Review: I am a guqin player myself and I am a bit disappointed with this CD. It appeared to me that it might be one of Mr. Li's early productions. The finger techniques, the excessive heavy touch on the strings, the unwanted metallic string echos, and the qin sound quality. None of it is up to his current level. Some of his other CDs are much better than this one. I enjoy Mr. Li's concert - his left hand movement is very mature,smooth, and impeccable. His right hand (finger flickings) is still a bit FORTE. The majority of guqin songs/music are for express yearning and to convey emotion and inspiration. If guqin music is delivered forte, it might not be able to convey and express the balance of ancient Chinese Philosophy - everything in balance and median, not too Yin (soft) or too Yang (hard). There is another well known profound guqin player in US, Mr. Wu Ziying. I have one of his CDs - I enjoy it very much.I am going to request Amazon.com to carry Mr. Wu ZiYing's CD.
