Xiaogang Ye is regarded as one of today’s leading Chinese composers, having won prestigious awards for his concert music and for numerous highly successful film scores. The works on this recording share a deep affection for the beauty and power of nature and landscape in China. Mount E’mei eulogises the great spectacle and cultural significance of the mountain, creating a multi-dimensional picture through the use of traditional instruments. Lamura Cuo and The Silence of Mount Minshan describe mystic atmosphere and melancholy silence, while Scent of Green Mango uses vibrant colors and shading to express gratitude for the fruit’s refreshing fragrance.

“… Performances are very good. These are both European orchestras-showing the wide, global appeal of Ye’s music (he teaches in Europe as well as in China). These works may lack the adventurousness of his contemporaries in China, but they are attractive and enjoyable – particularly Mount E’mei.”
Nathan Faro – American Record Guide – November/December 2021
“Four very colourful and descriptive works.”
Marc Rochester – Musicweb-International.com – 20 July 2021
“… The interpretations on this CD are very atmospheric and promote the reception of the scenic-musical images and the peaceful, sometimes ethereal aura created in the music.” *****
