This is the first volume of a 10-CD set of erhu music published by China Record in 1992. It seems the recordings have all been previously released on various albums. For example the two tracks by Zhang Rui were on his 1982 cassette, see http://huqinblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/zhang-rui-liu-tianhua-erhu-solos-china.html

In contrast to that album which are erhu only (as originally composed), the recordings of the ten Liu Tian erhu solos here have various arrangements, ranging from solo to large ensembles.

The rest of the volumes will be posted in the future.

Note that depending on the zip program you are using, the folder might not extract properly, older versions 7-Zip do not work. It appears this is because the file names contain Chinese characters.

If you are having problems, newer versions of 7-zip or WinRAR will work, the Chinese characters will appear as underlines when extracted.
