Exuberant, expressive performances of Chinese music for solo gu-zheng.
Bio / Background
Angela Jui Lee, gu-zheng master, was born in China, and is a bicultural and trilingual Chinese-American. She was tutored by Master gu-zheng artists Liang Zei Ping, Wei De-Liang and Li Ying.
"The Moon Is High" contains 7 selections of traditional Chinese music in her own arrangements for solo gu-zheng. It follows the success of her 1998 "Heart's Strings" CD. But where the earlier CD is largely meditative and introspective, "The Moon Is High" features performances which are more exuberant and outwardly expressive in character, and features the 23-string and 25-string gu-zhengs which were made especially for Ms. Lee. (The standard gu-zheng used by most professionals has only 21 strings.)
Utilizing these instruments and her own highly personalized arrangements, Ms. Lee explores an unprecedented expressive power beyond the confines of more traditional recordings.
