Li Xiangting (b.1940) is the most important Beijing qin player of his generation, and the most prestigious teacher of the Central Conservatory. His primary teachers were Zha Fuxi (1895-1976) and Wu Jinglüe (1907-1987).

For some time, this was the "most available" qin CD on the international market. At this point, the distant miking of the recording leaves something to be desired.
