Xiaoyong Chen: Imaginative Reflections |
|
 |
|
| The sounds on this album seem to come from another world. They spread through space, then disappear, or rather: fade away, evaporate, crystallize, settle as a sediment. This music is about fading away, about reverberations, echoes. European instruments sound Asian, and Asian instruments are integrated into European art music. Find the album right here. |

The Italian Alea Saxophone Quartet master this task brilliantly. Find the album right here. |
