{"product_id":"8717306264150-1","title":"BUTTERFLY LOVERS \u0026 PAGANINI (2LP) | VINYL RECORD (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eRising star violinist Chloe Chua presents a vinyl edition of her acclaimed recording   combining Chen Gang and He Zhanhao's Butterfly Lovers Violin Concerto with Niccolo   Paganini's First Violin Concerto, performed together with the Singapore Symphony   Orchestra, Rodolfo Barraez and Mario Venzago. The Butterfly Lovers Violin Concerto   was written in 1959, and inspired by a tale often called the Romeo \u0026amp; Juliet of ancient   China. Chen and He deftly combine a Western classical idiom with elements from   Chinese opera, such as grace notes and portamento effects, and the work has   become one of the most famous and acclaimed pieces of Chinese classical music. This   album also features an interpretation of Chen Gang's Sunshine over Tashkurgan,   which adds Central-Asian maqam to the stylistic palette. The programme concludes   with Paganini's First Violin Concerto, musically inspired by Rossinian bel canto. The   three works share a richness of melodic invention and orchestral colours, as well as   breathtaking virtuosic demands for the soloist. The solo parts are in excellent hands   with Chloe Chua, who admires the steadfast love and perseverance of the Butterfly   Lovers and feels fully at home in these evocative and exhilarating masterpieces.   Chloe Chua and the Singapore Symphony return to Pentatone after their acclaimed   recording of Vivaldi's Four Seasons and Locatelli's Labirinto armonico (2023).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PAGANINI \/ GANG \/ SINGAPORE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48241359552757,"sku":"8717306264150","price":54.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/9325\/5669\/files\/8717306264150_70022f25-76aa-4f3e-b640-3dac479e9ff2.jpg?v=1780879812","url":"https:\/\/thevinylvista.com\/products\/8717306264150-1","provider":"Vinyl Vista","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
