Classical Allusion: Selected Works by Julian Yu
Julian Yu takes famous pieces from the Western musical tradition and ornaments them in the manner of Chinese folk music, until the familiar becomes something newly made.

Colin Piper's percussion colours chamber and orchestral scores with bite and space: Westlake's bright rhythmic drive, Lentz's star-cluster hush on cymbals, prepared-piano grit beside Synergy, and a conductor's hand when a full orchestra needs shaping.
