Newly released from Navona is CONVERSATIONS WITH MY SOUL, a collection of new chamber works from acclaimed composer-pianist Bun-Ching Lam. The music sets in different languages the poetry of Shelley, Heine, Rimbaud, and Lasker-ShÃ¼ller, as well as the poems of 9th Century Chinese mystic Han Shan and contemporary writer Etel Adnan. In a compositional voice The New York Times has called "alluringly exotic," Lam incorporates baritone voice, piano, viola, flute, French horn, and harp to elucidate timeless works concerning life's fundamental questions. With a thoroughly contemporary sensibility informed by tradition, Lam's CONVERSATIONS WITH MY SOUL offers listeners a fitting soundtrack for their own existential ponderings.
