This recording takes a new look at some of the most enduring smaller-scale works in the cello’s literature. Among those chosen and performed by Han-Na Chang, several are heard in their original forms. Elsewhere, however, new orchestral arrangements by Chris Hazell and Roxanna Panufnik cast fresh perspectives on the music, often adding special intimacy and depth through minimal intervention, whilst preserving the legitimacy of the original pieces as fully as possible.

Her cello recordings, exclusively done for EMI Classics (now Warner Classics), have been nominated for the Grammys, awarded two ECHO Klassik awards, the Caecilia and Cannes Classical awards, as well as a Gramophone Concerto of the Year accolade among others.

Chang subsequently developed an interest in conducting. She made her professional conducting debut in Korea in 2007, and her UK conducting debut with the Philharmonia Orchestra in 2012. She has since then focused her artistic output exclusively to conducting. Han-Na Chang became principal guest conductor of the Trondheim Symphony Orchestra as of the 2013–2014 season. In 2017 she was the first female conductor to be named Chief Conductor of the orchestra.
