Zhao Cong - Sound of China - Dance In The Moon
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 who 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.
