Written by Zhou Tian as a gift to his fellow musicians upon his return to Shanghai after many years, Gift is cinematically thrilling, beautifully lyrical, and vibrantly colorful—all this in just 8 minutes. Borodin’s 2nd Symphony is a distinctive and original work that captures the new ‘Russian sound’ developed by Borodin and his compatriots during the second half of the 19th century. Folk tunes, liturgical traditions, and rich orchestral palettes abound in what Borodin himself called his “Heroic Symphony.”
