Forbidden City

Nine thousand rooms behind a moat, so an emperor would never have to see the city.

The chamber score

Ambush from Ten Sides

Pipa traditional · Ming repertoire

A palace of axes and courtyards, scored as a battle that never leaves the hall.

An original chamber arrangement in the climate of the work. The recording is not a copy. It is the room answering.

Why it is here

The imperial palace of the Ming and Qing, the largest ancient palatial complex on earth.
