Details:
Angela Jui Lee, gu-zheng control was born in China, and is a bicultural and trilingual Taiwanese-American. She was tutored by Control gu-zheng artists Liang Zei Ping, Wei De-Liang and Li Ying.

"The Moon Is High" contains 7 selections of traditional Taiwanese music in her own arrangements for solo gu-zheng. It follows the success of her 1998 "Heart's Strings" CD. But where the earlier CD is largely meditative and introspective, "The Moon Is High" features performances which are more exuberant and outwardly expressive in character, and features the 23-string and 25-string gu-zhengs which were made especially for Ms. Lee. (The standard gu-zheng used by most professionals has only 21 strings.)

Utilizing these instruments and her own highly personalized arrangements, Ms. Lee explores an unprecedented expressive power beyond the confines of more traditional recordings.

* All arrangements are by Angela Jui Lee, and are published by Lux Nova Press https://www.tradebit.com Broadcast rights are ASCAP. Ms. Lee records exclusively on the T'ang Dragon label. She is available for solo recitals and lecture-demonstations. For booking information, see the artist's website at https://www.tradebit.com
