The Album of Chinese Art Songs contains a total of 20 songs, which are roughly in chronological order, based on the composer as a unit, into one album. In addition to many enduring classics, the album also unearths a number of unknown and sung works, such as Lin Shengxi's "Autumn Night" and "Wangyun", Huang Yongxi's "Where are the Si people", Liu Xue'an's "Pursuit" and Chen Tianhe's "Where Spring Returns".
One of the highlights of this album is also the first collaboration between Shi Yijie and pianist Chen Sa. They met unexpectedly on several occasions, but they never had the opportunity to work together. Having a soloist accompany his singing seemed like a somewhat abrupt invitation, and Shi Yijie asked Chen Sa with a nervous mood, and because of the matchmaking of mutual friends, he promoted this cooperation.
The famous composer Ye Xiaogang believes that Shi Yijie and Chen Sa have made great achievements in their respective fields. Shi Yijie's male voice image of Chinese works has been established, and Chen Sa's piano tone has the courage of women in the new era, and there is also a hidden uninhibited. They have rich skills and a pure heart of auspicious and glorious.
It is reported that after Universal Music released the digital and physical album of "Chinese Art Songs" at the same time. Next, Shi Yijie and Chen Sa's special concert of Chinese art songs will be held in Chongqing, Jinan, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Xi'an, Shanghai and other places, and the physical album of "Chinese Art Songs" will be signed and sold offline at the performance site.
