This recording project aims to enrich the expanding repertoire of contemporary compositions for the cello, particularly those designed for solo cello. The North Suite consists of three movements: The Crescent Moon at Midnight, Silkroad, and Shaanxi. Each movement represents different regions with its indigenous music style. Composer Yunfei utilizes extended techniques to evoke the nuances of Chinese folk music skillfully transposed onto the cello. The recording project encompasses two primary components: a recording of the work and a comprehensive written document. This document provides readers with a historical overview, contextual background, and in-depth analysis of each movement. In addition, the original score will be included in the end. By undertaking this recording project, I aim to contribute to the contemporary cello repertoire and foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of the cultural diversity inherent in music. Through the fusion of tradition and innovation, I aspire to create an immersive musical experience that resonates with audiences worldwide.
