Ningxu is the newest piano solo release of the Dutch-Chinese classical pianist Mengjie Han on 7 Mountain Records. It features the monumental Variations on a theme of Chopin (Op. 22) by Sergei Rachmaninov; the very first major work he composed for piano solo. It’s paired with major solo works by Frédéric Chopin: Andante spianato et Grande polonaise brillante (Op. 22), Barcarolle (Op. 60) and the Fantaisie in F minor (Op. 49).What started as a Corona-lockdown-induced project soon turned into a more precious document for Mengjie Han, as his father – Ningxu Han – passed away after a year-long battle with cancer. The rich melancholy of this deeply romantic programme served as a soothing balm for Han, and he has thus decided to dedicate and name his newest album in memory of his late father.
