Weiyin Chen (*1983)
Improvisation on Scheherazade, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov

Weiyin Chen, piano

Music of its composers and the Ballet Russe

This album is a celebration of an epoch when music, dance and art inspired one another in abundance. This album brings us back in time to Paris 1871-1914. Imagine reliving “La Belle Époque” through a soundscape of music and composers of this era. As a classical pianist and fashion designer, the idea of music and creativ­ity simultaneously stimulating one another resonates with my artistic voice. Ever since I picked up a pencil to sketch designs, it unlocked a creative portal in my musical mind, sparking new compositional ideas. In this album, there are three composers from this beautiful era, La Belle Époque (1871-1914) and three works from the Ballet Russe, a ballet company based in Paris that was instrumental in bringing artists across disciplines together such as Coco Chanel, Pablo Picasso and Stravinsky. As this album unfolds through this artistic journey, it finishes with my own original composition: Improvisation on Scheherazade. It is inspired by one of the magnificent productions of Ballet Russe, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, a symphonic suite based on One Thousand And One Nights, also known as The Arabian Nights.

WEIYIN CHEN

Lauded as “a thoughtful, lyrical and accomplished artist” (The New York Times), the Taiwanese-Ameri­can pianist Weiyin Chen stands out for her dazzling technique, above all for the sheer musicality and maturity of her playing. Her gift for getting to the musical “heart” of the scores she plays has drawn the attention and praise of such master musicians as the renowned conductor-pianist Leon Fleisher and pianists Richard Goode and Claude Frank, all of whom she studied with extensively, among a legion of other eminent figures.

A multi-faceted artist, Ms. Chen is celebrated for her ventures in the world of fashion and music. She has received acclaim for her couture design in Vogue and has presented at London Fashion Week annually, her artistically inspired creations alongside her musical performances have received high praise in London year after year; her creativity lends a unique extra musical aspect to her performances.
