CELTIC ZEN w/ Lisa Franco & Michael Masley 1995: 76 mins/18 tracks

This is the first recording ever to feature Celtic and Chinese Harps together with Cymbalom (Hammered Dulcimer.) CELTIC ZEN’s beauty is timeless in nature, a stunning combination of archetypal instruments. Most of this music could have happened any time over the last 3 millennium. With 12 guest musicians including Lisa Lynne Franco, Michael Masley, Brent Lewis and Tina Tourin. Also featured are Cheng Lin and Karen Han playing the two-stringed Erhu (Chinese violin.) Outstanding performances on flute from four different players, augmented by cello, tablas, guitar and ethnic percussion.

“Levi Chen has concocted an East/West and further West fusion... A communion of global strings that includes Chen’s guitars and Chinese Koto, the Gu Zheng, Lisa Franco and Tina Tourin’s Celtic Harps, and Michael Masley’s Cymablom From Eastern Europe... beautifully fragile melodies draped in ethereal atmospheres.”(*highly recommended because of its musical merit) John Diliberto, Billboard Magazine ‘97
