Chinese & Japanese Asian instrumental music recommendations

[oldius]

I shall try that, cheers.

Anyway, back to the topic I love soundtracks in films like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon,* House of flying daggers and Hero and I am struck by the Asian instrumental music in these films as well as Hans Zimmer in The Last Samurai.

Does anyone have any recommendations or artists and where to start looking and purchase?

Thanks

I stumbled across this due to a track on the Dali 3 CD (freebie with speakers) and tracked down where it came from. It is a mix of tradition, with orchestra/jazz and modern instrument and is rather beautifully produced by Hans Nielsen. It is a bit pricey but can be heard on TIDAL not sure if its on Spotify
