專輯介紹：

《喜多郎：世界文明音樂巨匠》早在70年代便開始致力於研究電子合成音樂的喜多郎，是New Age音樂的首席代表，他的作品有著日本New Age音樂開路先鋒的獨特風格。將古典、流行、爵士融入電子音樂，他以電子合成器為演奏器具，他說：“我可以用合成器創造海洋、冬天的海岸、夏天的海灘上的全部景色”。而評論家也把這種樂器製作的音樂成為“心靈音樂”。喜多郎正是利用了合成器的多功能和巨大威力創作音樂，表達自己的情感！

　　8次格萊美音樂獎項提名，第43屆格萊美獎新時代專輯獎得主，新世紀音樂巨匠喜多郎恢宏力作，再現世界古老文明的印記，超值奉獻NHK《絲綢之路》+《敦煌》 ！

　　喜多郎作為日本音樂界三大巨匠之一，自上世紀70年代末出道，就受到NHK關注，並受邀為其拍攝的數部介紹人類古代文明的紀錄片配樂，其中最為著名的是《絲綢之路》和《四大文明》。　　

This is probably Kitaro's most well know piece and it is one of his best (all his music is so consistently great) Silk Road was my first introduction to Kitaro so it holds a special place. "Flying Celestial Nymphs" is probably my favorite all time Kitaro song. An astonishing song that touches the spirit and soul. To correct what the reviewer from PA said there is NOT a skip or defect on this CD What they are referring to is the end of track 5 "The Great Wall of China" the songs ends very abruptly at seemingly the peak of the song and then it goes immediately into the next track "Flying Celestial Nymphs" This is part of the original concept of Kitaro, it is supposed to end that way and it is how Silk Road was originally first released on album. For some reason the Gramavision CD release which is widely available in the US choose to fade out the ending of the song before the intended ending. This was against Kitaro's wishes. The version of "Great Wall of China" on this release is actually 5-6 seconds longer than the one on the Gramavision release because it now has the full song. So this is definitely the version of Silk Road you want to get. I hope not too many people were dissuaded from getting this because of that review. This is one of the best. Music of life and peace.
