Silk string discography     Metal string qin CDs     My CDs 首頁

  Wang Duo CD: Like many silk string CDs, only in Chinese2  
The listing below does not include recordings from these six sets of recordings: 3

Links are provided for sound files copied from some of the tracks.

It is quite common in China today for people to privately record and produce guqin CDs. Usually they do not comment on the strings, though some will say they use "ice strings" (bing xian), evoking great strings of the past. However, these invariably are using the newly-developed composite strings also sometimes called "new silk strings" (comment). In contrast, silk string recordings usually (but not always) state it up front.

The Appendix below includes further details on some of the players in the recordings listed here. Suggestions for other appropriate CDs will be appreciated.5

 I.  Qin on every track; one player on the CD (except as noted)
       All silk string qin; * = recorded before 1965
