Released in 2003 by Pacific Audio & Video, The Best Hulusi is a comprehensive 2-CD collection that showcases the soulful and mellow tones of the hulusi, a traditional Chinese free-reed wind instrument. Performed by acclaimed musician Tan Yanjian (谭炎健), this album features 30 tracks that blend Chinese folk melodies, love songs, and nostalgic classics, all interpreted through the gentle breath of the hulusi.

From the opening notes of “Half the Moon Climb Up,” the album draws listeners into a serene, poetic soundscape. The hulusi’s soft, airy timbre lends itself beautifully to pieces like “Ballad of Kangding,” “Flowing Stream,” and “Let’s Sway Quants,” all of which evoke imagery of peaceful countryside landscapes and quiet, heartfelt memories. Tan’s interpretation is sensitive and fluid, capturing the emotional core of each melody with effortless grace.

CD2 continues the journey with highlights such as “Really Miss You,” “Wish You Peaceful,” and the iconic “Why Is the Flower So Red.” These selections reflect the instrument’s deep emotional capacity, often resembling the human voice in its expressiveness. The inclusion of classics like “Telling My Heart” and “Far Away” further enhances the album’s nostalgic charm, making it both familiar and deeply comforting.

The arrangements are light and uncluttered, allowing the hulusi to remain the central voice throughout. Background accompaniment—typically soft strings, piano, or traditional percussion—supports without overwhelming, creating a warm and immersive listening experience.

The Best Hulusi is not only a celebration of Tan Yanjian’s artistry but also an excellent introduction to one of China’s most beautiful traditional instruments. Meditative, romantic, and deeply touching, this album is ideal for relaxation, cultural exploration, or simply enjoying the quiet magic of folk melodies reimagined with heartfelt simplicity.
