  • Relaxing & Mind-Tickling!
    author: J.

    Hong Ting is a very talented woman. Her musical gift is evident in the clarity and discipline in her music. This CD is both relaxing and mind-tickling. I can listen to it any time, but especially enjoy listening to it while passing an afternoon sipping tea. The pieces on this CD are refined and well executed, and notable in that they are not ruined with trendy Western effects. I can’t imagine that anyone seeking traditional zheng music would be disappointed with this fine selection!
