I don’t love all Chinese music (Chinese opera is a taste I have not yet acquired) but there is plenty online to explore:

• BBC Radio 3 programme on the music of the Yi and Hani ethnic minorities in Yunnan province.
• Sounds of China podcast.

“Rain Falling From the Roof” by Wu Tong: piano & cello ; cello and sheng  .  More amazing sheng.

I do love the sound of the qin.  The scholar playing the qin (one of the four arts) is often depicted in paintings, like this animated introduction.   Lots of history and information about qin music.  Recordings:

• Flowing Water 流水 is the piece included on the Voyager recording.  This version accompanies landscape paintings
• Song of the Water Dragon
• Qin in Beijing 2007 and 2011

Delightful series of period-costumed performances by Zi De Guqin Studio including:

• • Li Bai’s Daily Life of Composing
  • Drunken fishermen singing in the sunset

  • Music describing plum blossom

Three hours of continuous music

Spring River Flower Moon Night on the Guzheng

Mongolian music and throat-singing, traditional and heavy metal – love it!
