The Phoenix, co-commissioned by the Seattle Symphony and Danish National Symphony Orchestra, was inspired by a Hans Christian Andersen tale, the mythical bird symbolizing for Chinese-American composer Bright Sheng "the muse of all peoples." Aggressive fervor seeks meditative peace in H'un: In memoriam 1966-1976, hailed by The New YorkTimes as "a searing portrait of the Cultural Revolution in China…deeply affecting." Sheng's exquisite Spring Dreams, Three Fantasias and Tibetan Dance are available on Naxos 8.570601. China Dreams and Nanking Nanking can be heard on Naxos 8.555866.
