This album presents a selection of early piano works by six of China’s most internationally lauded composers. 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. Pianist Kiu Tung Poon has performed internationally and is admired for her ‘lively and authoritative’ playing (American Record Guide) and for her ‘lyrical and emotionally nuanced’ interpretations (Woodstock Times).
