Immerse yourself in the captivating world of classical music with Han-Na Chang's "Romance," released on March 5, 2007, under Warner Classics. This exquisite album spans a mere 59 minutes, yet it encapsulates a rich tapestry of compositions that showcase the profound artistry of Han-Na Chang and her cello.
The album opens with Glazunov's "2 Pieces for Cello and Orchestra, Op. 20: No. 1, Mélodie," setting a serene and melodic tone. It seamlessly transitions into Saint-Saëns' "Allegro appassionato in B Minor, Op. 43," where Han-Na Chang's virtuosity shines through in this passionate and dynamic piece. Dvořák's "Rondo for Cello and Orchestra in G Minor, Op. 94, B. 181" follows, offering a lively and spirited contrast.
Tchaikovsky's "Andante cantabile for Cello and Orchestra (After String Quartet No. 1, Op. 11)" brings a sense of tranquility and introspection, highlighting Chang's ability to evoke deep emotion through her playing. The album then delves into Lalo's "Cello Concerto in D Minor," a three-movement masterpiece that showcases the full range of the cello's expressive capabilities. The concerto's "Prélude. Lento - Allegro maestoso," "Intermezzo. Andantino con moto," and "Introduction. Andante - Allegro vivace" movements are performed with precision and grace, demonstrating Han-Na Chang's technical prowess and musical sensitivity.
The album concludes with Casals' "El cant dels ocells," a beautiful and poignant piece that leaves a lasting impression. Throughout "Romance," Han-Na Chang's exceptional talent and dedication to her craft are evident, making this album a true gem for classical music enthusiasts.
