The Butterfly Lovers Violin Concerto, scored for solo violin and Western orchestra, is one of the best known of all contemporary Chinese compositions. It has become indelibly linked with Takako Nishizaki, whose seventh recording of this hugely popular work features on this disc. Songs and Dances from the Silk Road, by the Slovak-born Peter Breiner, is based on traditional melodies to be heard in the West of China, from where the famous Silk Road takes its course through Central Asia to the Occident. Takako Nishizaki is one of the world's most recorded and appreciated violinists, especially beloved in China and other parts of Southeast Asia through her many popular recordings and personal appearances in concerts and in the media. She also lies at the very heart of Naxos' rich recorded offering of music for the violin.ASIN: B000260QCOVSKU: LFV.B000260QCO.VGCondition: Very GoodAuthor/Artist:Takako Nishizaki|Peter Breiner|He Zhan Hao|James Judd|New Zealand Symphony OrchestraBinding: Audio cdNote: Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.
