Via Preludes internetsalon voor klassieke muziek kunt u kennis maken met het Amerikaans/Japanse kwaliteitslabel M•A Recordings. Initiatienemer en eigenaar van het label is de Amerikaan Todd Garfinkle. Zijn cd's blinken uit vanwege de opnamekwaliteit (one point recordings/96 kHz) en de uiterlijke verzorging van de producties. Maar, dat mag duidelijk zijn, ook de uitvoeringen mogen er zijn. De in de M•A Recordings-catalogus te vinden muzikale genres lopen uiteen van jazz tot klassiek, maar er is bijvoorbeeld ook traditionele Chinese muziek in vertegenwoordigd. In samenspraak met de musici wordt steeds naar opnamelokaties gezocht die in het bijzonder geschikt zijn voor het op te nemen repertoire. Zo zijn bijvoorbeeld de twee Bach cd's van luitist Eduardo Egüez opgenomen in het klooster van de Convento Dell`Annunziata in het Italiaanse Rovato (Brescia). De rijke akoestiek ter plaatse laat de bijzondere klank van het instrument volledig tot zijn recht komen. Prelude heeft een aantal spraakmakende Titles in haar collectie opgenomen. U treft ze op deze pagina aan. |

Title: 'Voice of the Pipa'
Performer: Jiang Ting Pipa With a history of more than 2000 years, the Chinese Pipa is one of that culture`s oldest and most elegant instruments. When first seen in China, (having arrived from India by way of the Silk Road sometime during the Han and Tang Dynasties), the Pipa, being a plucked instrument, was verbally described to sound like ñpi~pa~pi~pa.î. Originally round, the Pipa was a highly regarded instrument of the court. Over the centuries however, with influence from Iran, the current pear shape evolved and the Pipa became more widely accepted and heard in entertainment and ritual genres outside the court. Price: |
