This programme brings together aesthetic and musical elements of East and West.
Zhou Long captures the essence of the Chinese plucked
ch'in, and Cambodian aesthetics are preserved in Chinary Ung's expressive
Spiral III. Tan Dun's
Eight Colors combines the exotic timbres of Peking Opera with Second Viennese School tonalities. Gao Ping's
Bright Light and
Cloud Shadows has been admired for its 'long-breathed brush strokes' (Washington Post). Taking its inspiration from James Joyce's
Finnegans Wake, Toru Takemitsu's beautifully crafted
A Way a Lone evokes a shimmering sound world.
