| For the first time ever, a Chinese symphony orchestra performed at LUCERNE FESTlVAL. lf yet more evidence that classicaI music has Iong since become a globaI Ianguage were needed, it wouId be this appearance by the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra under music director Long Yu. These musicians from Asia pIayed a program of three Russian composers. Aaron Avshalomov, who was born in 1894, served as a professor at the Shanghai Conservatory, where he taught from 1919 on; he was one of the founders of Chinas Western musicaI tradition. His tone poem Hutongs of Peking captures the sounds and voices that once echoed through the narrow alleys of the Chinese capitaI. Tchaikovskys immortaI VioIin Concerto was performed by one of the Ieading virtuosos of our time, Maxim Vengerov. And the orchestra demonstrated the degree to which a composer under Stalin had to wrestle with his own identity with Shostakovichs Fifth Symphony. Here the composer reacts to the poIiticaI demand to be popular and monumental which Ieads to an absurdIy overstated 'jubilant' conclusion. |
