Masterfully played erhu

I first discovered Wei Xiao Dong on myspace by chance.I listened to the sample songs available on her site. I was so taken by her playing, I ordered the Erhu Solo CD. I am new to Chinese traditional music, but if you listen to classical music you will appreciate this CD. The selection of songs is very good, giving us the opportunity to listen to Ms. Wei skilfully play beautiful melodies in very expressive, sensitive and at times playful ways and with great agility. The accompanying musicians and orchestra give a very good performance supporting Ms. Wei. I highly recommend this CD.

Wei Xiao Dong is one of the best erhu players I have listened too

CD is fantastic. The longer pieces are simply amazing and riveting. I learn erhu and I have close to 100 CDs of this instrument by many different artists. Xiao Dong's playing and rendering of some of the best standards of the erhu repertoire are among the best I ever heard ! I am looking forward to her future CDs and will strongly recommend this one to my friends and anyone interested by fine Chinese music and the sound and magic of the erhu !
