A lovely piece about an instrument and instrumentalist many listeners (myself included) don't know anything about. Music is beautifully mixed in, and Wu Man is an inviting speaker.
I came to this one from "Daily Segments" thinking perhaps this was going to be a daily pipa segment along the lines of a daily poetry reading or Astronomy Today. So, it might be a mis-classified there, but it is an excellent piece.
If Wu Man is doing a show in your area, this would be a great way to personalize Wu Man to your audience, especially if your station doesn't have the resources to go out and get the interview and edit it into a well done piece.
I always like the un-narrated shows, I think they are among the most pure from a production standpoint, and take more thought and creativity to tell the story when the subject doesn't always _quite_ answer that question so as to establish what the question was.

Review of Wu Man - Pipa player
Lovely portrait-in-brief of this musician, in her own words, scored with gorgeous examples of pipa music. Good refresh-the-senses piece. sl
