CD Review from "Guitart" of '2005

"Xuefei’s keen sensitivity to her own culture brings an authenticity to this all Chinese inspired recording that is unique, and quite beautiful. The techniques used include rather harsh back of the nail strumming (very appropriate in replicating the plectrum style playing of much of the Eastern repertoire), stunning tremolos, lush and beautifully shaped melodic textures, microtonal string bends, twisted string drum rolls, dual tuning prepared instrumentation, and many more effects that will definitely open your ears to this vital and compelling music. Dean Kamei, as producer and engineer, has once again created a new classic recording and introduced a compelling new artist into our midst." John Martin, Guitart Magazine
