An Anthology Of Chinese Traditional And Folk Music is a remarkable collection of music played on the Guqin, a seven-stringed instrument that holds a significant place in Chinese culture. The album, performed by renowned Guqin master Guan Pinghu, features a range of traditional and folk compositions that showcase the instrument's unique sound and versatility.

The album's soothing and meditative quality is evident from the very first track, "Flowing Water," a beautiful and serene piece that sets the tone for the rest of the album. As the album progresses, listeners are treated to a range of compositions that showcase the Guqin's ability to convey a range of emotions, from melancholy to joy.

The album's production is also of a high quality, with each track featuring a clear and crisp recording that allows the listener to fully appreciate the nuances of the Guqin's sound.
