Musical Assumptions: Bright Sheng's A Night At The Chinese Opera bright sheng grew up in Shanghai, but he was schooled in the Western musical tradition. Still, his music reflects who he is, and much of it is his music, http://musicalassumptions.blogspot.com/2006/09/bright-shengs-night-at-chinese-op
Extractions: skip to main skip to sidebar Music is a mystery for people who play it, write it, listen to it, and write about it. The only thing I can really do when I try to say something about music is assume. What an exciting event this is: a world premiere of a fantastic new violin piece at the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis that is available for everyone to hear on line. Last night we got to hear the piece twice, and it was played with two vastly different interpretations. Saeka Matsuyama, a Japanese violinist played it with rhythmic spring that immediately evoked images for me of the delicate and "over the top" stylized characters of the Chinese opera. Her performance was engaging and charmingdramatic and strong, but never "dramatic" in an overtly Western way. I particularly liked her range of sounds (that sounded like Chinese instruments), and her liberal use of slides. Daniela Shtereva, a violinist from Bulgaria and her pianist played the piece in a far more aggressive way that sounded more like Western drama. Frankly it sounded like a wild night at a Bulgarian opera, which is highly appropriate because her dramatic, musical, and cultural experience comes from a tradition that is in a different world, both geographically and culturally, from the world of Chinese opera.

The Philadelphia Orchestra has pulled it's world premiere of Bright Sheng's "Concerto for Orchestra: Zodiac Tales, which had been scheduled for February 23rd. According to Kathleen Van Bergen, the orchestra's VP for Artistic planning, ""we're postponing the piece and working on some revisions so that when we give the premiere, it is as successful as possible...to make sure the piece suits the orchestra and Bright's intention." "Zodiac Tales could be rescheduled during the 2007 calendar year. Ever come out of a concert thinking, "Boy, I wish I could hear that again!"? well, a growing number of orchestras are making that possible with CDs and Downloads of the evening's performances available as patrons leave the hall. the latest effort was by John Eliot Gardiner and the English Baroque soloists, creating what is believed to be the fastest classical CD release ever. As audiences left the hall last Thursday, they were able to walk away with a live recording of the music played before intermissionMozart's Symphonies nos 39 and 41produced by Gardiner's own label, SDG. It's the first time a commercial label produced a live CD that people could take away at the end of the concert.
