It remains a mystery why EMI consistently omits any mention from its program notes of the many gifted artists recording for the label. It's also a bit of a mystery why a cellist with as vast a technique as Han-Na Chang, whose previous discography focuses on the behemoth works of the repertoire like Shostakovich Concerto No. 1 and Prokofiev ...
