TEH-YUN, TSAR - Master Tsar: The Art of the qin

"Mrs Tsar Teh-yun (1905-2007) was not only a poet and calligrapher, but a fervent musician and eminent teacher. She devoted much of her long life to teaching the qin, the antique seven stringed zither, at a time when the heritage of the ancient culture was threatened with extinction in China. This refined, demanding music, seen by the literati as a path to self-awareness, has here been recorded by her pupils in the very place where it was taught, the Yinyin Study, "The room of the unfathomable virtue of the qin." Historical recordings made between 1956 and 1989. Notes by Georges Goormaghtigh. Double-CD with digipack and 56-page booklet." - Disques Vde Gallo .
