Wu Man & Wu Wei - Distant Mountains

Facts On this current recording you can hear a wonderful example of a magical First Encounter. Wu Man and Wu Wei, both exceptional Chinese musicians, had never performed together. Over the years they have kicked the windows and doors of their music wide open, have assimilated diverse influences and have taken their instruments and musical traditions all over the world. Their openness and the simply phenomenal mastery of their playing have brought Chinese music to millions of listeners. Wu Man's elegant precision of attack meets Wu Wei's Sheng, which at times has an almost transparent delicacy, and at others can pulse as forcefully as a power house.
