Rhymoi·Dream of an Opera1
Because of the use of regional dialects and the slow pace of lyrical expression, many people are shut outside the world of opera, unable to enjoy and appreciate the art. We believe, however, that music has the power to transcend beyond language barriers. Love for opera should have no boundaries. Replacing the human voice with a variety of oriental instruments, this collection eliminates the barriers caused by dialects while preserving the original messages of the musical pieces. Though this change may seem too playful, or perhaps even a bit dangerous, we are confident that little is lost in translation. Musically arranged by the most esteemed opera composer, Meng QingHua, the pieces in this collection stylistically embody the physical and emotional elements of their original counterparts. A classic orchestral texture, complemented and enriched by a modern musical feel, our collaboration of the old and the new create a remarkably innovative medium of expression and perfectly exhibits the melodic beauty of Chinese opera. To present the best of the nation’s treasures, our collection features ten of the best known operas, chosen from an archive of thousands. Of more than three-hundred opera forms, the ten different pieces here are by far the most popular and each distinctly representative of a local culture. Featuring Peking, Kun, Yu, Yue, and Chuan operas amongst others, the album brings one surprise after another, never allowing a moment of dullness. Album recording took place in China Central Television Station (CCTV)’s 480 square meters professional studio. Led by Asia’s respected recording director Li Xiao Pei, our production crew used the latest technology, investing hundreds of thousands to the album’s creation. To guarantee the best quality of sound, we invited the best record director from Germany to join our team’s post-production effort.
