Year of the Dragon - Songs from China

Year of the Dragon - Songs from China

2024

Ter gelegenheid van het jaar van de draak, presenteert Lang Lang deze compilatie van al zijn opnames met Chinese muziek bij Deutsche Grammophon. Naast solowerk zitten er uitvoeringen met de groten der aarde tussen, onder wie Andrea Bocelli, het Shanghai Opera House Chorus en het Praags Symfonieorkest . Tevens bevat het album twee gloednieuwe opnames: het lieve, vreugdevolle ‘Snowflakes’ (door Shuai Zhang) en het traditionele stuk ‘Moon Is Bright Lullaby’ uit het noordoosten van China (waar Lang Lang vandaan komt).
