Xiaofei / Nishizaki,Takako / Dehai,Liu - Violin Meets Pipa - Popular Chinese Folk Melodies - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The combination of Western violin and Chinese pipa is an unusual one. Nevertheless the timbre of the bowed instrument and of the plucked strings of the Chinese lute go well together. The program includes pieces originally for pipa solo or for violin solo. These pieces have been arranged by the well-known Chinese composer Huang Xiaofei for both instruments. Album Tracks 1.
