[Xiao Solo] Luo Shou-cheng - Pastoral Song (惊破梅心) (1995) [APE]

Posted by TUE on Jun 6, 2009 with 1 Comments

Released in 1995 by Wind Records as part of the Kua Fu Music Series, Pastoral Song (惊破梅心) by xiao virtuoso Luo Shou-cheng is a serene and poetic collection that captures the soulful essence of traditional Chinese music. Featuring the delicate and expressive tones of the xiao (vertical bamboo flute), the album transports listeners to a world of gentle landscapes, historical memories, and seasonal reflections.

The opening track, “Autumn Night,” immediately sets a contemplative mood, with the xiao’s breathy resonance evoking solitude and moonlit stillness. Each piece in this 11-track collection is crafted with care, blending lyrical melodies with a sense of timeless introspection. “Trip to Suzhou” and “Mountain Song” add a folkloric charm, painting vivid sonic images of rural life and ancient towns, while “Meditation on the Past” and “Autumn Recollection” delve into deeper emotional spaces, conjuring feelings of nostalgia and longing.

The title track, “Pastoral Song (小放牛),” stands out for its simplicity and grace, capturing the carefree spirit of pastoral tradition. In contrast, “Flight of Partridge” features more dynamic phrasing and tempo, showcasing Luo’s expressive range on the instrument. “Autumn Moon Over the Calm Lake,” rendered solely on xiao, is an atmospheric highlight, mirroring the still beauty of Chinese landscape paintings.

A unique addition is “Melody of Waves,” played on the xin di (new flute), offering a brighter, more modern timbre while still rooted in classical aesthetics.

Pastoral Song is not merely an album—it's an immersive listening experience that invites quiet reflection. Luo Shou-cheng’s masterful xiao playing breathes life into traditional melodies, making this recording an essential treasure for lovers of Chinese instrumental music and meditative soundscapes alike.
