entitled “One Hundred Chinese Music Classics Select”. This sixth installment features compositions that blend
evocative imagery with consummate artistry: the festive Drums in Celebration of a Bumper Harvest; Yellow River
Capriccio exuding majestic grandeur; and Hong Kong composer Law Wing-fai’s Ink Spirit that evokes nostalgia

for old docks.
