Excellent! January 20, 2008
I'm a fan of traditional Chinese instruments and this CD is worth buying! Hong-Mei is really amazing and passionate!
 Great mastery March 30, 2007
In this CD, Yu Hong-Mei's mastery of the instrument is evident. She sets different moods in her pieces. It is amazing the wide variety of music she can create with only 2 strings. The 2-string instrument is a classical Chinese music instrument and the sound it produces is similar to that of a violin but with a very distictive tone. If you are not used to it, you may not like it (this falls into the "cultivated taste" category.)
Truly beautiful May 29, 2006
This CD together with "spirit on two strings" by jie-bing chen are the two most beautiful er-hu cds produced. The sound quality is superb, recorded from the same environment (church) and technique by the same one and only Alexander Kavichandran. The music is simply arranged with minimal accompaniment (only one other instrument or just solo) let the erhu show its true spirit and glamour. Beautiful.
Beautiful January 28, 2005
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The Er-Hu has a reputation for sounding awful...but you'd never know it listening to Yu Hong Mei. She produces such a beautiful tone, and is at times contemplative and medtitative, at other times quite emotionally stirring. Simple, elegant, this music is very pleasing.
