CD reviews from Europe and the U.S
"...such excellent performances...They allow
us to enjoy not only the distinguished Pudong pipa style, but also the beauty
of traditional Chinese music in general"
- Journal of the Association for Chinese Music Research
"...one of the finest pipa CDs to appear in recent years...Magnificent playing, truly radiant..."
- Journal of the European Foundation for Chinese Music Research
"This splendid collection of virtuosi pipa
playing is highly recommended."
- Sing Out!
"The virtuoso pipa playing is by Gao Hong, a wonderful musician born in China…
The bottom line: This is a terrific rendition
of a terrific concerto"
Opus Pocus, the Magic of Music
"Gao Hong, a virtuoso pipa player, presents a series of cross-cultural pieces on Flying Dragon, blending traditional Chinese music with Indian, Japanese and American jazz. The first track, “Morning,” is actually nothing short of spectacular...The title cut is a solo... Here, the structure, first melancholy then triumphant, achieves a fine balance... “Cutting Grain Song” finds her with shakuhachi master Yoshio Kurahashi, performing a traditional Japanese tune. Again, a beautiful number... Flying Dragon is a generally enjoyable disc with some real high points "
