Digital Booklet

|||||
This album of world premiere recordings from the Royal Scottish National Orchestra under conductor Tsung Yeh is devoted to the works of one of China’s foremost composers, Ge Gan-ru. Solo violinist Maya Iwabuchi appears on several of the pieces that make up Shanghai Reminiscences, a warm and affecting evocation of the street scenes and sounds of Gan-ru’s childhood in pre-Cultural Revolution Shanghai, viewed through the lens of his adopted American traditions. Butterfly Overture is the composer’s symphonic tribute to a beloved teacher from his school days.
