| For the first time ever, a Chinese symphony orchestra performed at LUCERNE FESTlVAL. lf yet more evidence that classicaI music has long since become a globaI Ianguage 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 musical tradition. His tone poem Hutongs of Peking captures the sounds and voices that once echoed through the narrow aIIeys of the Chinese capital. Tchaikovskys immortal Violin Concerto was performed by one of the leading virtuosos of our time, Maxim Vengerov. And the orchestra demonstrated the degree to which a composer under Stalin 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 Ieads to an absurdIy overstated 'jubilant' concIusion. |
