東坡樂府
A vivid tableau of Song‑dynasty verse unfolds, gathering Su Shi’s own reflections on spring’s tentative buds, the restless tide at night, and quiet moments beside mist‑shrouded lakes. The poems move from the playful teasing of blossoming apricots to the solemn watch over moonlit waters, each line echoing the poet’s love of nature and the fleeting emotions of travel and parting.
Listeners will hear the rustle of river reeds, the distant drum of boatmen, and the subtle ache of longing woven through elegant rhyme. The collection preserves the original cadence while offering gentle narration that brings the ancient streets of Hangzhou and the distant shores of the Yangtze to life, inviting a pause to savor the timeless beauty of a world both far away and surprisingly close.
