CD booklet has inconsistent or incorrect romanisation of Chinese names and words.
Contains little or no information about the performers or location of the recordings.
The tracks on the CD appear to be live field recordings.
Only tracks 1,2 and 3 are Jiangnan sizhu, although track 2 (ping hu qiu yue) is ususally catagorised as Guangdong Music, it is a piece played by Jiangnan sizhu musicians. The recordings here seem to be the Jiangnan sizhu heard in teahouses played by amateur musicians. Some might argue that this is "authentic" Jiangnan sizhu, in contrast to the type of Jiangnan sizhu performeded by conservatory trained professionals who play from notation.
