Chinese Lieder

Fan Jingma's latest album sets a milestone in the tenor's career. After 15 years on the international opera stage, he has come back full-circle to his roots. But that's just the surface, the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. What sets apart this collection of 16 Chinese songs is his treatment, rather than his choice of repertory, which is eclectic and does not break any boundary.
