Lang / City Of Tomorrow - City of Tomorrow - Nature - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Reissue of 1993 classic, Remastered and better than ever

The City of Tomorrow releases Blow, a collection of three works for wind quintet, anchored by the premiere of a multi-movement work written for them by Hannah Lash. Guided by their virtuosity and commitment to polished interpretation, the album is an exploration of finely crafted compositions that take advantage of the rich colors of the instrumentation in all of it's permutations. Wind quintet The City of Tomorrow features adventurous and experimental music in their programming, bringing instrumental virtuosity and an openness to extra-musical components to their performances. The centerpiece on Blow is an ambitious, newly commissioned work for the ensemble by Hannah Lash, bookended by riveting pieces by Franco Donatoni and Esa-Pekka Salonen. Running through the repertoire is a thread of the collective and the individual, as each piece highlights soloists in the ensemble along with a chorus of ensemble textures. The album highlights the ensemble's unified interpretative vision and powerful performing style.

2020 collection. Lang Lang has contributed to the soundtracks of blockbuster films like My Week with Marilyn and Kung Fu Panda 3. In this compilation, he also plays legendary original movie tunes in piano arrangements, as well as some all-time classics that found new fame when they were used as film music. A fascinating journey through the cinematic universe. Soundtrack albums and film score recordings are hardly in short supply. But when a pianist of Lang Lang's calibre illuminates the world of motion pictures with his artistry, it turns every piece and every movie into a special event. Features 2CELLOS, Herbie Hancock, Lindsey Stirling, Madeleine Peyroux & Maxim Vengerov
