With Symphony of Self, Gao Hongs artistry soars to new heights as she composes, orchestrates and performs the pipa in four concertos-masterfully weaving ancient Pudong pipa traditions into the richness of a full Western orchestra. Recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, her four pipa concertos forge a striking cultural fusion, giving the Chinese lute a bold new voice in classical music.
