About the Book

This book is Chen Rong-Kwei's life story. He is a baritone genius and his music touches people's heart by making good use of sound and an emotional mastery of expression, especially in theaters. It entails a solid and lively sound performance, coupled with a dramatic tone; facial expressions convey the rich, sincere and profound emotion. All the music critics and music fans respect him. His thirty operas and musical pieces has left a model for song repertoire not only in Taiwanese, Chinese, English, German, Italian, but French as well. His philosophy is all about "integrity," which is why he exhibits a gentle, refined, and introverted character. His honesty, friendship, trust, respect, and admiration, whether in the face of life or when his art of singing, show his "integrity"; striving for perfection is his only principle.
