Chinese Folk Songs
ARC Music EUCD 2129
Gong Linna currently is the only Chinese singer being able to present Chinese Folk music in such technical perfection and vocal variety, yet with clear affection and relation to the place of origin of these songs. Linna even captured the different dialects in such convincing manner, that she is accepted as one of them by folk singers of rarely different regions, often far from Linna's home.
Never have folk-songs from and in

Jing Ye Si
kuku-61, 2006
In October Linna's new chamber music ensemble has been to the studio. The result is an album of classical elegance.
The title song "Jing Ye Si" uses one of the most famous poems by Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai. The poem in four very simple lines is a wonderful and deep expression of longing. On the album several classical poems contrast with new lyrics by Gong Linna, Xu Jie and Hong Mijen, all put into his special sound and sophisticated arrangements by Robert Zollitsch. A highlight of the album is the composition “Beijing Yuwang” (lyrics by singer Gong Linna) with a dramatic raising melody and stunning harmonical changes.
