About the Artist
About Lin Hai, the Producer In 1988 Lin Hai majored in piano at the China Central Music College and the next year he became the only and unprecedented Chinese nominee for the 8th Van Cliburn Musical Contest held in the U.S. As critics term it, Lin Hai is a genius whose has "an easternized right hand and a westernized left hand". Besides, he plays improvisational jazz out of a disciplined classical background. No doubt he is a multi-cultural and Renaissance musician for the new millennium.

5 out of 5 stars Very relaxing beautiful music.......2004-07-09

Pipa is a Chinese instrument that was invented more than 3000 years ago. Its sound reminds a mandolin.

The original music on this CD is arranged for Pipa and other instruments such as guitar, violin, cello, piano, other Chinese instruments and string orchestra. The music is very melodic and relaxing. Lin Hai tried to combine various techniques, so you'll hear New Age pieces, Crossover, light Jazz and Neo-Classics.

I loved this CD very much. I think Lin Hai produced a perfect album as I enjoyed all 12 tracks. Several sound samples from this CD are available on the web-site of Wind Records.

    Album Description

    "Three Images of Laughter" is a unique program that showcases the 'new style' of Chinese chamber music by composers from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and the Chinese diaspora. In the same tradition as their colleague Tan Dan, these five composers have created their own radically new musical language by blending China's traditional aesthetic with Western compositional techniques.
