This album is a collaborative recording between guzheng virtuoso Zhou Zhan and cellist Xu Yulian, captured by renowned recording engineer Li Xiaopei. It showcases a captivating dialogue between the guzheng and cello—not just a sonic feast, but a deep exploration into the art of sound design, revealing how these two instruments intertwine soul and technique to create a unique musical charm.

In this album, the guzheng, under Zhou Zhan’s exceptional artistry, resonates with clarity and richness, delivering a modern musical narrative. Coming from a family deeply rooted in guzheng tradition, Zhou Zhan blends classical heritage with contemporary style. His playing strikes a perfect balance—forceful yet elegant—presenting a fresh and captivating tone palette that redefines the instrument’s voice.

At the same time, the cello flows like a crystal-clear lake—lyrical and moving—yet its recording posed significant challenges due to the demanding acoustic environment. Xu Yulian's musicianship reveals a perfect harmony between gentleness and strength. In this work, the cello not only complements the guzheng but also acts as a bridge of sound and a vessel of emotion—drawing the listener into a world of deep resonance and connection.

Special attention has been given to the audiophile quality of this production. The use of multitrack recording techniques focuses not only on the shape and timbre of each instrument but also strives for a flawless balance in dynamics and detail. With Li Xiaopei’s masterful touch and advanced equipment, every nuance of tone and texture is faithfully captured, crafting an expansive sonic space filled with endless possibilities.

This pairing of guzheng and cello brings both classical charm and modern flair. Their interplay feels like a conversation between tradition and the present, enriching the music with layered textures. As composer You Jingyang envisioned, the dialogue between the guzheng’s intensity and the cello’s soaring lines ignites a spark of musical brilliance—making this collaboration something truly worth anticipating.
