专辑简介
Originally released in 1996 and as refreshing now as it was then, this state of the art album is an inspiring instrumental masterpiece. I Ching's Of The Marsh and The Moon (Chesky Records WO144, 1996) is recorded with Chesky's high resolution technology incorporating 128x oversampling and natural surround sound (recorded in St. Peter's Episcopal Church, NYC) to achieve a production quality that stands head and shoulders above typical recordings available to the mass market. This is true fusion of World music with New Age his modern approach makes otherwise traditional Chinese music more accessible to New Age audiences willing to broaden their musical horizons. The album can be obtained from amazon.com.
Three Chinese musicians Sisi Chen (Chinese hammered dulcimer), Tao Chen (bamboo flute), Bao Li Zhang (er-hu, a two-stringed Chinese fiddle) chooled in the ancient art of traditional music making, join Joel Goodman (synthesizer, sampler) to create an exotic mixture of music of the ancient and mystical Far East with the pulse of the 90s. The result conjures images of romance and mystery offering melodies that are at times achingly beautiful, rhythmically driving and lushly melodic.
Eleven instrumental tracks of varying style and mood and average length build the album's sound to comprise the 52-minute collection. Expert musicianship, accurate and delicate imaging, stunning recording quality and lush production makes the music highly inspiring relaxing and very enjoyable listen!
Credit David Chesky with putting out--at least occasionally--some really intriguing music. This work consists of several tracks played by three Chinese musicians with traditional instruments, and an American synthesist. The choice of material is flawless--a perfect mix of ancient songs and new compositions. The playing is great, creating moods of beauty and serenity.
While there are quite a few CDs available in the worldbeat category, none that I know of does what this album does, which is to envelope the listener in a deep feeling of Chinese life. You may not be in China, but you definitely understand what it may be like, at least sensually.
这张专辑由三位中国民乐音乐家和美国的合成器音乐家合作演绎。中国传统乐器与现代乐器的完美组合，曲目都是我们熟悉不能再熟悉的经典民乐，包括有茉莉花，在那遥远的地方，嘎达梅林等等，旋律优美动听。I Ching 易经 由四位音乐家组成，分别是中国民族音乐家 Sisi Chen (中国扬琴)、Tao Chen (竹笛)、Bao Li Zhang (二胡)和美国的 Joel Goodman (合成器)。
专辑于1996年3月4日、5日及6日，在位于纽约市的圣彼得教堂录制，特别值得一提的是，专辑采用 natural surround sound （自然环绕声） 进行录制，关于这个高科技，台湾同胞是这样介绍的：Chesky 最新研发录音技术「自然环绕音响」（NSS）大公开。只要两个立体声喇叭，就能产生自然环绕效果，极低频丰沛，敬请留意音量。
