Digital Booklet
|
|||||
This digital-only release features the Shanghai Quartet on works by Bright Sheng, one of today’s most widely performed composers. Joined by violinist Weigang Li,
pianist Peter Serkin and the composer himself on piano, the album includes the landmark title work, derived from an instrumental interlude of the well known Peking opera Farewell My Concubine. My Song was inspired both by Sheng's love of Chinese folk music and by the musicality and virtuosity of pianist Serkin, the work’s dedicatee.
