"Editor's Choice."
- Gramophone
"... vivid and flattering sound ... if you're in the market for this piece, I'd go with the Naxos."
- American Record Guide
"... combines certain 'authentic-sounding' Chinese motifs and timbres within the tone world of 20th century Western music in a way that is often captivating and exciting ... while Sheng's Western influences abound in these works, few listeners will be disappointed by the effort exhibited by all the parties involved."
- ClassicsToday.com
The Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra evokes the spirit of China and celebrates its landscape, its culture and its history on this highly acclaimed collection of works by Bright Sheng, recorded in 2002.
