Product details
The latest CD from Le Tuan Hung, featuring compositions by
respected Australian composers and performers including Ros
Bandt, Brigid Burke, Warren Burt and Deborah Kayser, was
nominated for the 2005 ARIA Awards.
On the Wings of a Butterfly is a collection of
cross-cultural compositions by eight Australian composers.
Instruments, colours of tones, concepts and voices from many
cultures are explored and combined to generate new musical
entities that transcend the artificial boundaries between East
and West.
In this collection, listeners will experience the exquisite
vocals of Ria Soemardjo and Deborah Kayser in combination with
the meditative sounds of the shakuhachi, the delicate voice of
the Vietnamese zither dan tranh interlocking with the harmonics
of the original Australian power pole bells, and waves of vibrant
emotions in pieces for shakuhachi with harpsichord, and clarinet
with Indian drums.
Duration: 63 min.
