老赛桃源班 - 若兰追舟

Review by Sheri

若兰追舟 is the latest album from the Chinese traditional music group, 老赛桃源班. The album features a collection of beautiful and soothing melodies that transport the listener to a serene and peaceful world.

The album opens with the title track, "若兰追舟," a traditional Chinese tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song is played on the guzheng, a traditional Chinese stringed instrument, and is accompanied by the erhu, a two-stringed bowed instrument. The combination of these two instruments creates a beautiful and harmonious sound that is both calming and uplifting.

Throughout the album, 老赛桃源班 showcases their incredible musicianship and skill on a variety of traditional Chinese instruments such as the pipa, dizi, and sheng. Each track is a masterpiece in its own right, with intricate melodies and rhythms that are both captivating and mesmerizing.

One standout track on the album is "梅花三弄," which features a beautiful pipa solo accompanied by the erhu and guzheng. The pipa, a four-stringed plucked instrument, is known for its expressive and virtuosic playing style, and the musician on this track does not disappoint.
