Chinoiserie

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Jenny Lin is a young Taiwanese American pianist with nimble fingers, superb technique, and, judging from this program, the ability to change from the upright of wacky classicism (Rossini) to an eclectic jazz style (Morton Gould). This entire CD is devoted, as the title implies, to Chinese-influenced music by non-Eastern composers; the longest single movement is just over 6 minutes, so the disc's effect is of a series of lovely baubles, each individual, but all connected by a theme. The music of the East has always fascinated Western composers (remember Madama Butterfly?), and it is easy to hear why--with the Chinese pentatonic scale, they can expand their harmonic language. These pieces range from tiny delicacies--the Percy Grainger, for instance--to the hypnotic "China Gates" by John Adams and on to Leo Ornstein's À la Chinoise, which, though incredibly busy, is hypnotic in an entirely different way. This disc is a real treat. --Robert Levine
