Composer Yu-Peng Chen's new classical album, The Poem of Life, created in collaboration with Deutsche Grammophon, will be released on September 25.

As Yu-Peng Chen's first classical album since joining DG, The Poem of Life will be available worldwide in digital, CD, and vinyl formats.

With this album, Yu-Peng Chen tells a story of life through music. Conceived as a musical poem, the work unfolds with warmth, delicacy, imagination, and emotional depth, inviting listeners on a deeply personal journey.

The album was recorded by the Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Liang Zhang, with Yu-Peng Chen as piano soloist. It also features an outstanding lineup of internationally acclaimed artists, including violinist Daniel Hope, mandolinist Avi Avital, cellist Philipp Schupelius, pianist Wei Yixuan, vocalists Li Yi and Zhou Zhengzhong, together with distinguished Chinese instrumentalists Ma Jiajun, Shi Wenqing, Wang Junkan, Li Chunxu, He Qianqian, and others. Together, they create a richly expressive musical landscape that blends the grandeur of the symphony orchestra with the distinctive beauty of Chinese musical traditions.

Three singles from the album — "Overture: The Flavors of Life," "Waltz of the Fireflies," and "Wordless Farewell" — are already available on streaming platforms worldwide.

We warmly invite you to listen on your preferred music streaming service and begin this musical journey with Yu-Peng Chen. We look forward to sharing the complete album with you on September 25.
