The Silk Road: A Musical Caravan专辑介绍
"What if Marco Polo had owned tape recorder?" This intriguing concept is raised in the liner notes to this impressive two-CD set,
which wanders along ancient Asian trade routes known as the Silk Road. The first disc, Masters & Traditions, deals with formal
styles performed by and for sophisticated connoisseurs. Meanwhile, the music on Minstrels and Lovers is played by amateurs who
are part of daily life and thus reach a wider audience. The imaginary caravan passes through Iran, Kazakhstan, China, Uzbekistan,
Mongolia, and Afghanistan, encountering nomads, mystics, and bards along the way. The instruments are scratchy, pungent,
and/or serene, while the singers weave a potent spell out of a millennium's worth of slow-changing rural and urban vistas. In the
opening essay, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, the project's artistic director, pleads for intercultural communication and empathy. This
compilation provides an exotic, brave, entertaining first step in that direction. --Christina Roden
Product Description
What if Marco Polo had owned a tape recorder? And what if his epic travels along the Silk Road had taken place not at the end of
the 13th century, but at the beginning of the 21st? Far-fetched conjectures to be sure, but our compilation The Silk Road: A
Musical Caravan offers a glimpse of the rich musical life that an intrepid and curious traveler like Marco Polo might find in the
lands of the Silk Road today.
