The chamber score

Butterfly Lovers Violin Concerto

He Zhanhao & Chen Gang · 1959

A folk tragedy in a concert hall of concrete.

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

Ando's theatre in Jiading, a late work of the master in China.
