Zhou Long captures the essence of the Chinese plucked ch'in and Cambodian aesthetics are preserved in Chinary Ung's expressive Spiral III. Tan Dun's Eight Colors combines the exotic timbres of Peking Opera with Second Viennese School tonalities. Gao Ping's Bright Light and Cloud Shadows has been admired for it's 'long-breathed brush strokes' (Washington Post). Taking it's inspiration from James Joyce's Finnegan's Wake Toru Takemitsu's beautifully crafted a Way a Lone evokes a shimmering sound world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Zhou Long (B. 1953)\/\/ Song of the Ch'in \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Chinary Ung (B. 1942)\/\/ Spiral III \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Gao Ping (B. 1970)\/\/ Bright Light and Cloud Shadows \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Toru Takemitsu (19301996)\/\/ a Way a Lone \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Tan Dun (B. 1957)\/\/ Eight Colors\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"New Zealand String Quartet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40556931678279,"sku":"19579894","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/2067709.jpg?v=1747366625","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/takemitsu-new-zealand-string-quartet-works-for-string-quartet","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
