In 1980, few people knew about the Japanese synthesizer player named Kitaro. He'd released a few albums in Japan, but Silk Road was the album that put Kitaro on the map. Originally recorded as the soundtrack to a Japanese TV series about the trade route between Europe and China, Kitaro subsequently released it as a double LP. This disc contains some of the best themes from that recording as well as some other songs, including 1996's "Flying Celestial Nymphs" and "Caravansary" featuring Yu-Xiao Guang's delicately expressive lines performed on a native Chinese violin called the huquin. The Best of Silk Road concludes with two new pieces, "Pray at Xian/Mercury," nearly 18 minutes in length. They feature Kitaro on Native flute playing over gentle arpeggiations. Although these pieces do become tiresome in their repetition, the Japanese composer's melodic trade-offs with To-san on Chinese pipa are a serenely austere respite from Kitaro's often overly lush orchestrations. --John Diliberto

4 out of 5 stars Best of Silk Road is Also Best of Kitaro.......2004-01-21

A good album. If you like the theme from The Silk Road, you could also purchase the original video of The Silk Road produced by NHK TV Japan. Kitaro's music is soothing and an excellent accessory to meditation.

    3 out of 5 stars Just best album, nothing new about it.......2005-01-22

    This album, if I'm not mistaken since there's no image of it, is just one of those 'best of' albums, but it is a good one. Also this album is only one of four series of the same release, they are "best of silk road", "best of earth", "best of heaven", "best of universe", I have them all, imported from china, so there's no new songs at all. Unless you're a big fan of kitaro like I am or never bought kitaro at all, don't buy this album.
