The Chinese Classical Orchestra 

A gorgeous performance of a large Chinese classical orchestra, featuring all of the traditional instruments which give this type of orchestra its unique, majestic sound. Instruments include Pipa, Ti, Ta Ren, Sheng, Yang Cen, Ta-hu, Erhu and others. Pipa player and concertmaster Lui Pui Yuen, masterfully leads this band in both stirring and serene traditional orchestrations of Chinese folk songs, melodies dating as far back as the Yuan, Ching, and Ming dynasties, and tunes made popular in the Peking Opera. Recorded in the early 1960s, this recording takes the listener back to a time before there were still no western influences on this type of Chinese orchestral music.
