Ancient traditions, folklore, landscapes, and the natural world are central themes in the music of the distinguished Chinese composer Xiaogang Ye.

This new album, performed by the Fidelio Trio and friends, spans over three decades of Ye’s chamber works from 1989 to 2023. Known for his vast range of compositions, Ye’s deep connection to his Chinese heritage is particularly evident here. His intricate use of instrumentation, rhythmic and melodic motifs, and dramatic forms come to life in these intimate settings.

The album features a variety of ensembles and instruments, including the evocative traditional Chinese instrument, the pipa in Gardenia, highlighting Ye’s ability to blend traditional Chinese elements with Western classical music. Each piece, from the lyrical Piano Trio, op.59, to the vivid Nine Horses, op.19, showcases Ye’s mastery of timbral colour, rhythmic interplay, and melodic expression, offering listeners a fresh perspective on ancient myths and tales through a modern lens.
