    Composer, producer, and pianist Yu-Peng Chen unveils his first original album for Deutsche

    Grammophon The Poem of Life, a deeply personal symphonic work, conceived as a musical

    journey through the stages of life. Moving away from gaming music, Yu-Peng Chen exploits

    his talent of storytelling through music in this new album, blending Western classical

    traditions with Chinese musical sensibilities to unfold a series of richly evocative movements,

    capturing childhood curiosity, youthful ambition, first love, personal growth, fulfilment, loss,

    and acceptance.

    Recorded with the Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Maestro Zhang

    Liang, the album represents Chen’s most intimate artistic statement to date. Drawing

    inspiration from centuries of classical music history while remaining unmistakably

    contemporary, The Poem of Life brings together diverse musical voices.

    At its core, the album is an invitation to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the moments that

    shape our lives. Both cinematic and deeply personal, The Poem of Life celebrates our

    shared capacity for wonder, love, longing, and remembrance, offering listeners a space for

    contemplation and emotional resonance.
