Beautiful Chinese music

The most beautiful, sublime chinese music which I have heard is on the CD: "Masterpieces of Chinese Traditional Music" by the Chinese Instrumental Ensemble. It is arranged/orchestrated for a modern audience, and I think it is truly exceptional.

I've searched in vain for anything comparable. Does anyone know of any other similar CDs/instrumental groups etc ?

I plugged the title into the US amazon site to preview it and it sounds great. I also noticed a few titles in the "customers also bought" that you might want to preview, including, for example

Phases of the moon

Classical chinese folk music

Spirit on two strings

Eleven centuries of traditional chinese music

The last one, is really quite different than the others ... but very interesting. I may buy a couple of these after previewing them for a bit. Thanks for the lead.

I just followed your pointers on Amazon. I don't know why I didn't think to look there !?! There are lots of choices to follow through - Cheers !
