Now, Chen’s latest album, *The Poem of Life*, is being released to bridge audiences from the worlds of gaming culture and classical music. It is a symphonic suite for piano and orchestra comprising 12 tracks that depict the various stages of life, focusing on reflection, expression, and storytelling. The work marks a new direction, blending his experience in video game music with a more personal approach that emphasizes concert performance. It was recorded with violinist Daniel Hope, mandolinist Avi Avital, and the Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra, led by Music Director Liang Jiang. Chen’s dreamlike piano and celesta tones expand into a rich symphony as the violin and mandolin resonate alongside them.\n\n“A human life is a succession of irreplaceable moments—from a baby’s first fragile breath to the stillness of old age and the final farewell… They are filled with wonder, imagination, fear, joy, and longing. I wanted music that would serve as a ‘vessel’ for all of these” (Yupen Chen)\n*180g heavyweight vinyl, gatefold sleeve\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dg Deutsche Grammophon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53078911418657,"sku":"28948688128","price":5501.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/28948688128.jpg?v=1785056138","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/28948688128","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
