A Classical Special program dedicated to doomed romance.

But Western composers have no monopoly on love and tragedy. Violinist Cho-Liang "Jimmy" Lin performs The Butterfly Lovers Violin Concerto based on one of China's most widely known folk tales. Mr. Lin also features in The Love, a new work looking back at the ardor of youth from maturity, written especially for him by acclaimed Chinese film composer Tan Dun.
