Title Description:

Vital Review:
Bun-Ching Lam was born in Macao and holds a Ph.D in composition from the
University of California at San Diego. She is the recipient of numerous
grants and fellowships including most recently the treasured Rome Prize
for Composition.

For her second Tzadik recording, she has assembled some of the greatest
traditional music performers of China and matched them with some of New
York's most creative instrumentalists in creating a beautiful and lyrical
meeting of western art music and Chinese troubadour traditions. Her mini-
opera, The Child God written as a shadow-play, incorporates spoken
narration, instrumental music and tenor songs, and is based on a Ming
Dynasty mystical novel The Creation Of The Gods. It tells the story of No
Cha, from his miraculous birth, to the discovery of his own supernatural
powers through various adventures which bring danger to his parents'
lives. Adventurous, charming and delightful.
