Wasn’t Shanghai’d tonight, this was better than I thought…decent length, good translation, nice mix of modern and traditional. Satisfying evening.

Great concert. Liked the variety esp. the horse racing, Silk Road, and Suona player. Have they made any CD recordings?

Good question Bert–I’ll check in with their tour manager to see if they can direct us to any recordings. I’m not sure that the chamber ensemble has any as I think that’s the reason they didn’t sell any CDs at the concert. I bet the full orchestra has recordings though. I’ll let you know what I hear.

Hi Bert–
The Ensemble’s tour manager let me know that unfortunately, their music is unavailable in the US. They are hoping that they will have CDs available the next time they visit the US.
