Ma Chang-Sheng is an independent musician that explores the inner soul to discover life’s original quality. Quiet by nature with nonchalance for fame and fortune, he has studied contemporary rock n roll and popular music in the past and is now a practising Tibetian buddhist. In addition to being a songwriter and singer, he is an instrumentalist playing the Guqin, a traditional 7 string Chinese instrument. There is so much more to Ma Chang-Sheng and if you would like to know more, take a look HERE
Tan Bao Shuo is a close colleague of Ma Chang-Sheng, having met in Hong Kong. He plays the Dong Xiao which is a Chinese vertical end-blown flute. Their musicianship and approach to life compliment each other ....
So, if you dare, take a trip "outside" a normal musical experience and be transcended to another level of understanding
MA CHANG SHENG & TAN BAO SHUO - Spring's Coming Back In Everything
Long Yuan Music
Cat# HD111
2013 (this is indicated on the rear of the cover although I have seen others advertising a similar release from the year 2016)
This is a special edition in hard cardboard book form. The outside front has a metallic label attached in the lower left corner, the booklet has a stitched spine but is glued inside the cover and the diecut area where the CD is stored has metallic Gold edge gilding. Most of the text is in Chinese although there is some English as well, I tend to think this package was intended for the export marketplace not for local consumption.
This packaging is in very good condition, clean and unmarked by any personal writing. The book inside is also in very good condition.
CD media is in very good condition, visually inspected under a bright White halogen light source and I can see NO marks or scratches on the media at all. I have then played the entire album and there are no issues with any track.
TRACKS: Spring's Coming Back, Meet An Old Friend In Jiagnan, Floral Showers, The Autumn Moon In Changan, Sunny Sand, Drunk In The Autumn, Memories Of The South, Night Rain, Secluded Residence, The Bell Sound In Autumn Night, Silence, Missing Hometown In The Snow And Wind
This video is not of a track from this release but may give the listener an idea of the musical style. Here Ma Chang-Sheng is playing the Guqin.
