Sound Of China - Moon Dancing Deluxe Edition - One-Step Pressing

Zhao Cong succeeds in harmoniously combining tradition and modernity with her imaginative, versatile playing and unique style. In addition, the international music production offers a successful combination of Eastern and Western culture: all the songs on this album were written by Chinese composer Ma Jiu Yue. The Czech Film harmonic Orchestra accompanied Zhao Cong during the recording at the Rudolfinum in Prague, and the recording was made by renowned Danish sound engineer Hans Nielsen.

The LP reissue by Modern Records is strictly limited to 300 copies, comes with OBI stripe, was cut with half-speed mastering by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios (33 RPM) and pressed on 180-gram vinyl by Memory-Tech Corporation in Japan, using the superior One-Step process.

Sound of China - Dance In The Moon is a highly acclaimed album by Zhao Cong, a leading soloist of the China National Traditional Orchestra and a master of the pipa (a four-stringed Chinese lute). A fusion of traditional Chinese instruments with modern, Western-influenced production, often described as "World Music".

As a leading Pipa performer in China, Zhao Cong is known for her unique style which blends the classic and the modern in grace and harmony. Her innovative and dynamic performance reveals her distinctive versatility and ingenuity.

All the songs played by Zhao Cong on this album were written by the talented Chinese composer, Ma Jiu Yue. His love of Chinese traditional music and his natural gift aptly demonstrate why his compositions touch our hearts. Besides the beautiful composition of the songs, the production of this album itself yields some very interesting stories.

Firstly, the music attracted the attention of highly experienced and revered Danish sound engineer, Hans Nielsen, who not only owns the largest private recording studio in Denmark, but has also produced and recorded thousands of albums. Secondly, the project has brought together both Chinese musicians and Western producers to create a superb blend of world music which combines Eastern and Western cultures.

The Pipa is one of the oldest Chinese instruments. The name "Pipa" originally refers to two fingering techniques. The two Chinese characters "pi" and "pa" stands for plucking the strings forwards and backwards, respectively. Due to its complete temperament, wide dynamic range, bright tone color and rich expressive power, the Pipa has been considered the most beautiful and expressive of all Chinese folk music instruments.
