“[Cheng Yu] has been hailed for her deep understanding of the instruments and for reviving the art.”
- Elsewhere.co.nz
Cheng Yu plays the original 1936 Van Gulik-Picken silk-string guqin, with Dennis Kwong Thye Lee on xiao flute. This cherished guqin, steeped in history, was previously owned by two of the world’s greatest 20th century sinologists – Robert Hans Van Gulik and Laurence Picken. The feeling of antiquity is further heightened as these well-known zither classics are played on original silk strings, dating back to the 1930s.
