Beschrijving

Dan Zhu (violin) & Suzhou Symphony Orchestra, Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, Bright Sheng

Dedicated to Gil Shaham, Sheng's Let Fly was premiered in 2013 and draws inspiration from Chinese folk-song as well as Western classical influences; it's followed here by the vivid astrological concerto for orchestra Zodiac Tales, and the Suzhou Overture, which the composer describes as 'reflecting Suzhou's continuous cultural creativity from the ancient to the present'. Inspired by the image of a violin melody flying off, Chinese-American composer Bright Shengs virtuosic three-movement concerto Let Fly interweaves Chinese and Western classical elements. Vivid legends of astrological animals inform Zodiac Tales, a tour de force concerto for orchestra. Reflecting the city of Suzhous ancient, continuous cultural heritage, traditional nostalgia fuses with contemporary rhythms in the exciting Suzhou Overture.
