Tout quitter du jour au lendemain pour aller chercher, seule, au fin fond de la Chine communiste, les secrets oubliés de l’art antique chinois, était-ce bien raisonnable ? Fabienne Verdier ne s’est pas posé la question : en ce début des années 1980, la jeune et brillante étudiante des Beaux-Arts est comme aimantée par le désir d’apprendre cet art pictural et calligraphique dévasté par la Révolution culturelle. …

His style can rightly be called “classical crossover,” and his music sounds right at home in the crossroads of 21st century “new classical” composers such as Max Richter and Ludovico Einaudi, and the cinematic sound of the late Johann Johansson.
