A compelling overview of Chinese classical music today, recorded in Beijing. Acclaimed pianist Lang Lang presents works based on folksongs he has loved since childhood - pieces for solo pianio as well as duets with indigenous instruments - and the popular Yellow River Concerto, of which his New York performance with the China Philharmonic prompted the New York Times to write: "The audience sprag to its feet and shouted its approval at the end, and deservedly so."
