Product details
In one of the most ambitious commissioning and performance projects in recent years, world-renowned shakuhachi master Riley Lee has joined forces with the Sydney-based Enigma Quartet to create a new genus of music. The Five Elements takes the listener on a kaleidoscopic journey through the Australian landscape that traverses universal concepts linking humanity to our natural environment and spiritual core through music.
Drawing inspiration from the belief in many ancient cultures that the entire universe was made of just five fundamental elements - earth, air, water, fire and ether - Riley Lee and the Enigma Quartet have commissioned and selected music from Australia's finest compositional voices to present a strikingly original offering that voyages between Eastern Zen Buddhism and Western Classicism.
