Soloists, Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Andrew Parrott - Judith Weir: A Night at the Chinese Opera
Judith Weir's colourful tale of 14th-century China is by turns comic, melodramatic and tragic. Set during the invasion of China by Genghis Khan, it tells the story of orphaned Chao Lin.
Reviews:
"What are those weird, slashing, wondrous orchestral chords? How did she do that?"
New York Times 2002
