This is the first Chinese Requiem ever composed. This massive work by renowned Chinese composer Guan Xia is scored for 100 instrumentalists, a choir of 150 singers, an organ and 4 vocal soloists. The well-established China National Symphony Orchestra invited the legendary French conductor Michel Plasson, who has long had a close association with EMI Classics, to work on the project. This partnership between West and East gives the recording a universal breadth as well as an overarching theme: The Earth. The emotional strength of the work is empowered by it's gargantuan scale.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Gazing at the Stars (Meditation for Orchestra and Vocal) \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Heavenly Wind and Earth Fire (Trilogy in a Fixed Melody, for Orchestra and Vocal) \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Boundless Love (Romance for Orchestra, Vocal Soloists and Chorus) \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Wings of Angels (Ode for Qiang Flute, Organ, Orchestra, Vocal Ensemble and Chorus)\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Michel Plasson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40625796120647,"sku":"20801298","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/products\/1893861_e61ca033-aed3-4e7d-a36c-cad1e68d2e58.jpg?v=1710594785","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/plasson-michel-guan-earth-requiem","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
