About this product

Born in Shanghai in 1955, Xiaogang Ye is regarded as one of China's leading contemporary composers. He has written music in a variety of genres, including symphonic and chamber works as well as scores for the stage. Ye has also composed music for films and the two works recorded here are both examples of this. Sichuan Image consists of 29 brief and atmospheric pieces composed to accompany a filmed travelogue of the scenic province in Western China. In preparation for the work, the composer visited mountains, river, villages and ancient historical sites in Sichuan. Lending further color to the large symphony orchestra, four Chinese musicians perform on traditional instruments. The album closes with Concerto of Life, a suite in five movements for piano and orchestra with Noriko Ogawa taking on the solo part. The work is based on the score for a feature film of the same name telling the story of a piano teacher and his students. Ogawa has also appeared on a previous album of Ye's music alongside the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and conductor José Serebrier - a named Editor's Choice in the Gramophone, whose reviewer described the performances as 'superb' and Ye's scores as possessing 'lyrical elegance, searching drama and depth of color...' Album Tracks 1. Sichuan Image for Orchestra, Op. 70 2. Concerto of Life, for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 23C

An accomplished horn and viola player, York Bowen is said to have preferred the tone of the viola to the violin. Inspired by the virtuosity and vibrato style of the distinguished violist, Lionel Tertis, Bowen wrote several works for him and became his accompanist. Bowen's subtle shifts of key and heartfelt melodies are well in evidence here, including the powerful and poised Rhapsody, Op.149, considered to be one of his most important works. Gustav Holst's daughter Imogen is represented here by the open-air freshness of her Four Easy Pieces and the terse, laconic narrative of her Duo for Viola and Piano. Britten's spiky Waltz is full of 1930s wit. Album Tracks 1. Melody for the C String, Op. 51, No. 2 (C. 1918) 2. Allegro de Concerto, Op. 21, No. 2 (1906) 3. Four Easy Pieces (1935) 4. Suite for Violin and Piano, Op. 6 - V. Waltz Alla Valse, Vivace E Rubato (1934-35) 5. Three Duos for Violin and Viola (Late 1940S) 6. Romance in a Major, Op. 21, No. 1 (1908) 7. Duo for Viola and Piano (1968) 8. Romance in D Flat Major (1900, Arr. 1904) 9. Melody for the G String, Op. 47 (C. 1917) 10. Rhapsody in G minor, Op. 149 (1955)
