1	Classical Chinese Folk Music [Arc] (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist It is a touch misleading to list this album under "Various Artists," because a single ensemble with three soloists performs on it. The soloists are Cheng Wu on lutes, Li He on flutes, and Chen Dacan on the erhu, the Chinese two-string fiddle. The soloists are not mentioned on the front cover, although you can figure out the score from the rear. ... see all copies from £20.70! new only from £20.70!
2	Phases of the Moon (1990) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Phases of the Moon collects traditional and contemporary Chinese compositions, including "Moon on High," "Dance of the Yao People," "Purple Bamboo Music," and "Spring on a Moonlit River." A graceful, meditative collection, and a good overview of past and present music from China. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide see all copies from £6.81! new only from £6.81!
3	Pipa from a Distance (2003) more music like this by Wu Man add to wishlist An album of extraordinarily exploratory pipa music from the main ambassador of the instrument to the West, Wu Man. Here, there is a definite aspect of traditional pipa music present, but that's only the jumping-off point. There's some thorough culture-mixing as a didgeridoo is tossed in here and there. Some heavy updating of the ancient forms ... see all copies from £7.19! new only from £7.19!
4	Jasmine Flower (2002) more music like this by Beijing Angelic Choir add to wishlist see all copies from £9.87! new only from £9.87!
5	Chinese Traditional Yang-Qin Music (2001) more music like this by Anna Guo add to wishlist Chinese Traditional Yang-qin Music is Anna Guo's first album produced and released outside of China. A master of the yang-qin, a Chinese hammered dulcimer with 170 strings, Guo performs mostly solo here, accompanied in two pieces by Ting Hong on zhang and Samuel Hong on small percussion in two more. The yang-qin is a peculiar instrument with a ... see all copies from £19.66! new only from £19.66!

8	La Guitara: Gender Bending Strings (2005) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Men have long made a big deal out of their prowess as guitarists, choosing modest group names like the Great Guitars and picking low-key album titles like The Poll Winners and The Incredible Guitar of .... It's perhaps not surprising, then, that women guitarists have traditionally steered clear of all of this testosterone. But the state of things, ... see all copies from £4.07!
9	Heavenly Sound of Xiao (2001) more music like this by Zhang Wei-Liang add to wishlist see all copies from £13.03! new only from £13.03!

11	Thundering Dragon: Percussion Music from China (1995) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist In hearing a CD of percussion music from China, it is difficult to avoid comparing it with Japanese percussion music, thinking of such groups as Kodo or Ondekoza. There are obvious similarities, but differences as well. One simple yet obvious difference is a cymbal which has a unique and typically Chinese sound (heard first on track four). One ... see all copies from £13.23! new only from £13.23!
12	Chinese Traditional and Contemporary Music (2000) more music like this by Wu Man add to wishlist Wu Man's second solo album is a slightly more mature effort that places the pipa master in a more refined chamber music setting, accompanied by Liu Qi-Chao on flute, Yang Yi on plucked zither, and Tien-Juo Wang on bowed violin. The quartet works exceptionally well together on songs like "Niao Tou Lin (Birds in the Forest)" and "Xiyang Xiaogu ... see all copies from £11.98! new only from £11.98!

The erhu is an enchanting Chinese ... see all copies from £11.89! new only from £11.89!

16	China Collage (1997) more music like this by Sola & Wu-Man add to wishlist Though far too unusual for casual world music fans, this collaboration between eclectic Chinese vocalist Liu Sola and Wu Man, a master of the Chinese lute (or pipa), is definitely an intriguing listen for those unafraid of more avant-garde musical fusions. As the plucked pipa melodies set the musical mood with styles that range from the ... see all copies from £76.71! new only from £76.71!
17	China: Time to Listen [Box] (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This three-CD set takes a broad look at the rich and varied musical traditions arising out of our planet's most populated nation. An encyclopedic 54-page full-color booklet supplies information on the country as a whole, and includes track-by-track information. It is the third CD in this set, "Spirit and Wisdom", which proves the most striking. ... see all copies from £12.26! new only from £12.26!

19	The Best Collection of Nanyin (2001) more music like this by Kwan-Cheung Au and Ming-Chiu Kum add to wishlist In all fairness, no one's going to call this easy listening. Nanyin is a Chinese style of storytelling which dates from the Song Dynasty, with different provinces having their own styles of singing -- the words themselves are poems -- over a fairly simple instrumental background. Some of the pieces here are new, such as "Autumn Elegy by the Chu ... see all copies from £5.25! new only from £5.25!
