Abstract
This album presents a selection of early piano works by six of China's most internationally lauded composers, Bright Sheng, Chen Yi, Huang Ruo, Tan Dun, Yao Chen, and Zhou Long. The pieces explore elements of Chinese and Western traditions though most are rooted in a traditional national style derived from Chinese opera or folk music. They evoke characteristic Chinese instrumental sonorities, especially percussion - gongs, drums, chimes and bells - from a variety of source material including Beijing Opera and ballads.--container.
