Synopsis

Product Description
LIMITED EDITION 24KT GOLD CD

In December , on its Marco Polo label Naxos presents a 50th Anniversary box set devoted to The Butterfly Lovers Concerto, performed by violinist Takako Nishizaki, the Shanghai Conservatory Symphony Orchestra, and conducted by Fan Chengwu.
The Butterfly Lovers Violin Concerto was written in 1958 by He Zhanhao and Chen Gang while they were students at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music and was first performed in May the following year. Musically, the concerto is a synthesis of Eastern and Western traditions, although the melodies and overall style are adapted from traditional Chinese Opera. The solo violin is used with a technique that recalls the playing technique of Erhu, the Chinese two-string fiddle. It is a one-movement programmatic concerto, with three sections that correspond to the three phases of the story-Falling in Love, Refusing to Marry and Metamorphosis.
