	Online Review London - The San Francisco ballet
		Yuan Yuan Tan's mother kept trying to persuade him, and so too did one of the teachers at the Shanghai Dance School, who had chosen Yuan Yuan Tan from the gruelling auditions to which she was invited after being spotted performing folk dances at the Shanghai Children's Palace.
		It is a ballet ideally suited to the genius of Yuan Yuan Tan, who is so mesmerically wondrous a dancer that the rest of the stage almost vanishes when she is on it.
		She transferred her ambition to her daughter instead – although history nearly repeated itself, for Yuan Yuan Tan's father was as reluctant as his father-in-law had been to countenance a career in dance.

	Filmtracks: Hero (Tan Dun)
		Dun is extremely loyal to his title theme, which may, in the end, be the most pronounced weakness of this score (as well as the previous one), and if the romanticism of this theme in all of its variants does not touch your soul, then you could in for a very long listen.
		But Dun does offer the passages of war dedicated to his huge armies, and in cues such as "Warriors" and "At the Emperor's Palace," the KODO Drummers are paired with magnificent single-note blasts of brass, and the fight sequences predictably rely heavily on block-busting and stick-tapping percussion to maintain their rhythmic steam.
		Dun is not necessarily altering Hero for that specific purpose, but the more warlike nature of this second score causes the brass and percussion to be more recognizable than the dominant string material typically inherent in Dun's writing.
