Butterfly Lovers & Paganini - Chloe Chua (Vinyl) (AE)

This is a vinyl LP pressing of Butterfly Lovers & Paganini by rising star violinist Chloe Chua, featuring a unique blend of Eastern and Western masterpieces. The album pairs the iconic Butterfly Lovers Violin Concerto, a famous piece of Chinese classical music inspired by an ancient tale and infused with elements of Chinese opera, with Niccolò Paganini's virtuosic First Violin Concerto. Accompanied by the Singapore Symphony Orchestra, Chua masterfully navigates the demanding and melodic solo parts in both works, as well as in Chen Gang's Sunshine over Tashkurgan. The album is a testament to Chua's artistry and her deep connection to these evocative and exhilarating compositions.
