| For the first time ever, a Chinese symphony orchestra performed at LUCERNE FESTIVAL. If yet more evidence that cIassical music has long since become a gIobal language were needed, it would be this appearance by the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra under music director Long Yu. These musicians from Asia played a program of three Russian composers. Aaron AvshaIomov, 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 alIeys 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 StaIin had to wrestIe with his own identity with Shostakovichs Fifth Symphony. Here the composer reacts to the politicaI demand to be popuIar and monumentaI which leads to an absurdly overstated 'jubiIant' conclusion. |
