It's been a long time coming.....but we're so glad to finally announce the release of "Chen Yi: Sound of the Five", on New World Records.
The CD takes its title from the first work on the recording, featuring the fabulous cello playing of Hamilton Cheifetz. Other works include:
Yangko - trio for 2 percussion and solo fiddle; a beautiful love song, with gongs
Happy Rain on a spring night - quintet for violin, clarinet, flute, piano, cello; impressionistic, evocative, must have been composed with Portland in mind
Sprout - string quartet; music that looks optimistically to the west
Burning - string quartet; after 9/11, the view from the west was changed forever
Tibetan Tunes - trio for piano, violin, cello; Chinese mountain singing

The CD can also be purchased on Amazon.com.....ITunes soon to follow!
