Extractions: Shanghai Symphony Orchestra's 2003 Tour at ECU by William Thomas Walker The diverse complexity of Rossini's Overture to William Tel l gave conductor Chen a chance to show off the quality of the 124-year-old orchestra. Based on ECU's previous experience with the Russian National Orchestra, I doubt that Wright Auditorium's shallow stage allowed all of the orchestra's "nearly a hundred veteran players" to be seated, but it was well packed. The solo cellist earned the conductor's acknowledgement with his sensitive and richly phrased playing of the famous opening solo, with divided cello section parts. Though a very string-dominated orchestra, there were fine solos from the woodwinds, horns and - not least - the trumpets. An older patron quipped "the 'Lone Ranger' theme" when he heard the infamous trumpet solo, and I had an urge to go get some Merita bread! The "Polovetsian Dances," from Borodin's opera Prince Igor , were equally well played. Conductor Chen showed confident mastery of a wide range of musical styles. The concert opened with "Night of the Torch Festival," the last of four movements from Xilin Wang's tone poem "Yunnan," which won an Excellence Prize in a 1981 National Competition in China. It is somewhat reminiscent of the regional folk music explorations of Rimsky-Korsakov and Khatchaturian, and the program notes drew attention to "three different themes (that) resonate throughout this movement: strong and vigorous male dancers; mild and graceful female dancers; and the rejoicing and feverish mass dance." The strings played a driving rhythm at the beginning, and there was fine woodwind playing later. In this piece, the solo oboe affected a special "pinched quality" that mimicked a traditional folk instrument. If all the sections of Wang's tone poem are as long as this one, it would make for a substantial portion of any program.

Extractions: Issue Date: 0.0.00 Print Friendly Email Article Jazz rode the 1990s surprisingly well. It was a decade in which the recorded-music market was flat compared to other media; and traditionally, jazzwhich has a perennial single-digit market shareis an early casualty of the budget cuts and corporate take-overs that market slumps spawn. But that didn't happen in the 1990s. Moreover, jazz benefited from plunging CD production costs and e-commerce, which created a slew of independent labels and direct marketing conduits. And tens of millions of dollars from public and philanthropic sources, combined with increased corporate sponsorships of jazz festivals from coast to coast (a bid for the jazz audience's alleged upscale demographics), sustained a healthy live performance market throughout the decade. Yet boom times did little to counter jazz's "condition of epilogue," the syndrome of "virtuosic deconstruc-tions and recapitulations" that art critic Gary Indiana observed plaguing modern art in general. In particular, jazz seems to have lost its political edge. Protest against social injustice is no longer the drivingand artistically revitalizingforce it once was in the music. Wynton Marsalis's 1997 Pulitzer Prize-winning oratorio on the horrors of slavery, Blood on the Fields (Columbia), was an exception. But in a period of arch retrospection, it's noteworthy that the industry-anointed divas aren't singing Billie Holiday's plaint about lynching, "Strange Fruit," nor are the young lions playing Charles Mingus's biting satire about segregation, "Fables of Faubus."
