Notes & Reviews:

"...the 14 songs spin a passionate story...and certainly embrace Tan's description of 'Peony' as 'medieval chant meeting rock 'n' roll meeting ancient Chinese kunju opera'. Soprano Ying Huang is involving... she conveys elegant melodies of swoops, swirls and fluttering trills...the sounds of a drum kit emerge and combine with those of traditional Chinese instruments, synthesizers and extended vocal techniques..." -Sherriff, BBC music magazine *****
