"A native of Taiwan, Chien-Yin Chen is a marvelous young composer who spent ten years in Germany studying with Gyorgi Ligeti, and is now living in New York. Her work is remarkably inventive, honest and meticulously crafted. Purr, her debut CD, features five different pieces showing her love of Chinese traditional music, improvisation, and the Western classical tradition, which she effortlessly reinvents, creating an impressive original sound world. Includes two large ensemble pieces, one featuring pipa virtuoso Min Xiao-Fen, a bizarre duo for organ and bass, a trio for three guitars and more."
