	Muhai Tang - IMGArtists.com
		Muhai Tang has an extraordinarily wide repertoire, ranging from Bach to composers of today and his role as Artistic Director and Chief Conductor of the Zurich Chamber Orchestra is an opportunity for him to explore the chamber orchestra repertoire which has always been close to his heart.
		Muhai Tang became Conducting Professor and Head of the Conducting Department the Conservatory last spring and he also works for Shanghai Concert Hall as Artistic Director.
		Among Muhai Tang's many recordings the Guitar Concertos by Tan Dun and Christopher Rouse with Sharon Isbin and the Gulbenkian Orchestra, for Teldec, was awarded a Grammy in 2001.

	China today
		Muhai Tang's name has a poetic nuance -- the sea bathed in the sun's golden rays, and is usually associated with sailing, sunrise, and things of beauty.
		Tang always appears refined and cultivated, but when at work, he is very strict, and inspired by his emotions, he shouts, dances, and weeps.
		Muhai Tang won the 2002 Grammy Award for his Concert de Gaudi for Guitar and Orchestra, under the category "Best Classical Contemporary Composition." A Spanish architect and vanguard of the 20th century architectural revolution, Antoni Gaudi (1852-1926) is noted for his fantastic and distinctively romantic style of architectural design.

	Muhai Tang: News, Reviews & Features - IMGArtists.com
		The sombre beauty of Rasliv, where Tang’s ability to emphasise the degree of ominous reckoning and stealthy approach of revolutionary forces, was masterful as was the tension-raising build to Aurora’s explosive signal.
		Tang has the advantage of being both a Puccini expert and Chinese, and it was hardly a coincidence that Puccini’s numerous authentic melodies and hymns breathed in an astonishingly natural way.
		Tang allows Puccini’s decadent orchestral writing to come alive and vibrate in a thousand colours, and he manages to find remarkable dramatic effects, with no trace of eccentricity.

		According to sources in the orchestra, the management informed the players earlier this month that it would not be entering into any contract with Tang Muhai, who stormed out last August after a bitter argument with the orchestra's chief executive officer, Yu Songlin, over programming for the new season and budgetary matters.
		Tang was quoted by an official Beijing newspaper as saying, "I shall not return as long as Yu Songlin is around."
		Also discharged was the orchestra's deputy chief executive, Qian Cheng, a Tang supporter who manages the two largest concert halls in Beijing as well as one in Nanjing.

	Muhai does Mahler - State of the Arts
		Under the direction of the internationally renowned Muhai Tang, Muhai’s Mahler is the first of 10 concerts in The Queensland Orchestra’s Maestro Series for 2005 and it promises to be an evening of mesmerising orchestral music.
		Revered for his incandescent interpretations of Mahler, Muhai Tang has turned his attention to the most popular work in the Mahler cycle.
		Muhai’s Mahler, as well as heralding the start of the 2005 TQO season also, significantly, represents Tang’s return to Australia and The Queensland Orchestra.

	Finnish National Opera January Strauss Weeks (II): Die Frau ohne Schatten: (New Production Premier) Soloists, Chorus ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Costumes, props and the boat in Act III were created partly for the production at the Megaron Concert Hall with the support of the Cultural Olympiad 2000-2004 organisation.
		I saw the company's new and beautifully staged Der Rosenkavalier in January of last year, and felt that it had been seriously set back by Muhai Tang's conducting.
		Whether Muhai Tang is just not suited to Strauss or whether he has difficulty managing large orchestral sounds in opera houses is difficult to say, but to my ear most of that Rosenkavalier's problems were present once again in this production.

		When it was revived last Saturday it was a fitting tribute to Swedish-Canadian director Sonja Frisell that conductor Muhai Tang dragged her in front of the audience for a personal curtain call.
		The FNO Orchestra was on top of their considerable form and Muhai Tang, who has sometimes been criticized for slackness, led his forces with unstinting precision, from the first heavy, ominous chords and all through the opera.
		Maybe there was after all a slackening towards the end but that may be just as much Alfano’s fault.

		His collaboration with the Lisbon Gulbenkian Orchestra was one of the several most successful.Their last CD "Haydn-Cello Concertos 1and2"became such a hot item online that some websites posted special notes for it,declaring that "items sometimes go out of stock at our suppliers".Therefore,these portals require customers to order it 4-6weeks beforehand.For common dispatch,1-2weeks is enough.
		Tang's success in the Grammy winning concerto is also related to Gulbenkian Orchestra,though the chief performer of "Concert De Gaudi"was Sharon Isbin,a gifted guitarist.Isbin is two-time winner of Grammy.The title of her previoius winner piece was "Dreams of a world".
		Tan Dun,highlight of nearly all the domestic entertainment websites yesterday,also contributed to the concerto.Tan's composition of Yi2was also integrated into the whole concerto of Christopher Rouse.The rhythm and sense of the Chinese ethnic musical instrument,the lute,was said to be mended exceptionally well with the big Spanish flamenco flourishes.

	New Line - Tan Dun, Rouse: Guitar Concertos / Sharon Isbin \| ArkivMusic
		Her crisp articulation also is remarkable, perhaps reflecting the influence of her former teacher, the celebrated keyboardist and Bach expert Rosalyn Tureck.
		It's hard to judge much of the contributions of the Lisbon-based Gulbenkian Orchestra, or even those of conductor Muhai Tang, who seems to be pretty much following Isbin's lead.
		The sonic quality of the recording is sharply divided; Isbin is miked crisply and brightly but the orchestra is distant, dark, and dim.
