Prelude to the Divine Realm
Drunken Immortals
Snow Like Jade
Plum Blossoms Swinging in the Breeze
Dancing with Strings
Portal to the Clouds
Prelude to the Divine Realm
Jade Beads Tumbling into the Green Lake
Farewell at Yang guan
The Remaining Fragrance of the Lotus Flowers

Gao Hong, pipa
Zhao Xiaoxia, guqin
