PentatoneHolland Baroque & Wu WeiWu Wei is a virtuoso on the sheng, the Chinese mouth organ that evokes three thousand years of Chinese music culture and is a small miracle of harmony, melody, and rhythmic possibilities. Picturesque improvisations effortlessly navigate between repertoire from different centuries and continents. In addition to compositions by Bach, Telemann and Rameau, the album contains traditional Chinese music.All pieces have been arranged by the artistic team of Holland Baroque, Judith and Tineke Steenbrink. The wonderful sounds of Wu Wei blend harmoniously with the sound of Holland Baroque. Wu Wei speaks to this special collaboration, saying, 'Baroque music is like light. It touches you and attracts your attention, whether you want it or not. You are seized by it, and I mean both in positivity, in melancholy and in heartbreaking grief.'Together they went on tour in 2017 and there the basis for this CD was laid. NRC praised the program with Wu Wei as one of the highlights of Dutch classical concerts of 2017. On stage, you hear western baroque and eastern sounds, Telemann to a Chinese dragon dance.
