Dong Xiaolin's Pipa Concerto "Song of Heaven and Earth" comes from the album "Music: Pipa - Dong Xiaolin".
(This song is a live recording of the concert and will be released on vinyl records by the People's Music Publishing House)
The famous composer Zhang Chao was commissioned by the Central Chinese Orchestra in 2017 to compose this piece for "Dong Xiaolin Pipa Solo Concert". The work is influenced by two legendary love stories, one is the legendary poem "Zhaoshutun" full of beautiful ideals and advocating heroic spirit, and the other is Shen Congwen's most humanistic novel "Border Town". A man who dared to use his life to challenge a huge disaster for the sake of "beauty" and "love". A love that dares to spend his life waiting for a beautiful love for "beauty" and "love". This earth-shattering spirit and feeling have become the main source of inspiration for the smelting works. Therefore, the works do not focus on the description of the plot, but on the expression and sublimation of emotions, and call for the harmonious coexistence of man and nature.
The creation is eclectic and multi-dimensional, trying to show the rich expressive power of the pipa and the orchestra, as well as the symphony of the pipa.
