蔡小月 & 台南南聲社 - 南管散曲 [6 CD]

Chine. Nan-kouan - Ballades chantées par Tsai Hsiao-yüeh Vol. 1-6

這套Ocora想必喜歡南管的人都聽過吧！（甚至是唯一聽過的）
大家把這套捧的很高，我個人覺得只是因為這是唯一人們能聽到。有了王心心，大家又喜歡上了王心心，南管的東西畢竟太少了。以後我會把我的20+CD 南管給大家分享的。

大家喜歡蔡小月卻一直沒有她的消息，這是爲什麽呢？其實在十幾年前，蔡小月就因兒子債務問題遠逃海外，音訊全無。所以我並不覺得她是一個令我尊敬的文化堅持者。

讀者有台妹么！能介紹點北管么！！！

For English tracklists and some other information

“
Nan-kuan, the "Southern Style" music of China, is virtually unknown in the Western world and almost forgotten in its own country. Yet it remains one of the few forms of authentic ancient Chinese music that have survived the profound cultural transformations of the last hundred years. The origins of Nan-kuan may be traced to the court music, ballads and dances, of the Sung period (960-1278). However, Nan-kuan in its present form developped in the South of the province of Fukien.
The basic form of Nan-kuan is the ballad (ch'u), a pure expression of courtly love written in free vernacular verse. The ballads come from ancient romances such as the famous Story of the West Chamber (Hsi-hsiang chi). The words interpret the feelings of the lover, evoking the beloved one with poetic imagery and lamenting his or her absence. This repertory is not unlike that of our late medieval troubadors. This similarity does not limit itself to the ballads: the orchestration is also quite close to the musical ensembles of our 13th and 14th centuries. The cultural traditions of Nan-kuan as a noble form of music of an educated elite, also confirms the ressemblance between Nan-kuan and the music of the minstrels.
