The Tiger and the Clover (Wendy Case)

Violinist Wendy Case performs works for solo violin by Jingchao Wang, Jane O’Leary, Bobby Ge, Sungji Hong, Joseph Jones, Michel Klein, Dominique Le Gendre, Diana Rotaru, Judith Lang Zaimont and Judith Shatin

The tiger is a traditional symbol of wisdom, intelligence, and the balance of yin and yang. The common clover flower is a symbol of inner strength, beautifully personified in Emily Dickinson’s poem, Purple Clover. Created during circumstances of unusual adversity during the pandemic of 2020 and 2021, this album explores converging and contrasting perceptions through the eyes of a diverse group of composers. Each work is a testament to the tenacity, creativity, brilliance, and humanity of all of the artists represented.
