The musicians prove how well apparent contradictions can flow together.” ★★★★☆ (NRC)
Wu Wei is a virtuoso on the sheng, the Chinese mouth organ that evokes three thousand years of Chinese music culture and is a small miracle of harmony, melody, and rhythmic possibilities. Picturesque improvisations effortlessly navigate between repertoire from different centuries and continents. In addition to compositions by Bach, Telemann and Rameau, the album contains traditional Chinese music.
