小提琴VS二胡:围观巴伯和陈其钢的弓弦奇迹 - 2022年06月17日

East meets West in classic symphony concert

The Shanghai Symphony Orchestra's last season highlighted musical dialogue between East and West, including one program that put the violin and the erhu, or Chinese fiddle, side by side.
The acclaimed concert "Wonder of Strings by Barber and Qigang Chen" will be streamed on the orchestra's WeChat Channels at 7:30pm on Friday.
Conducted by artistic director Yu Long, the concert features Chinese "erhu queen" Lu Yiwen and violinist Li Weigang, who co-founded the notable Shanghai Quartet in 1983.
Lu, 31, had to practice Western violin works like "Carmen" when she started learning the two-stringed erhu as a child. There just weren't many traditional compositions available then.
That's no longer the case, due to the rising popularity of traditional Chinese musical instruments in general and the erhu in particular.
Musicians have also been composing new works or modifying existing works to fit the Chinese fiddle. Some of the works, such as "Un temps disparu" (A Time Gone), featured in this concert are inspired by ancient Chinese melodies or poetry.
"Un temps disparu" draws from a well-known piece for the Chinese guqin (a seven-string plucked instrument similar to the zither).
It came from musician Chen's highly acclaimed 1995-1996 composition "Reflect d'un temps disparu."
Chen originally wrote it for cello and orchestra, and the piece was premiered by Yo-yo Ma and the Orchestre National de France under the baton of Charles Dutoit in 1998 at the Theatre des Champs-Elysees in Paris.
The composer later transcribed it for various performing combinations, including the version in this concert, for erhu and orchestra.
