Vienna Philharmonic back in Shanghai
THE Vienna Philharmonic is to visit Shanghai Oriental Art Center, sharing music with local audiences on December 1-2.
This is the Vienna Philharmonic’s second visit to the city for the 5-year collaboration with the Shanghai Oriental Art Center since last October. The orchestra, conducted by Franz Welser-Most, has prepared different programs for the two concerts.
On December 1, they will present Mozart’s “The Magic Flute” overture, Brahms’s Symphony No.2 in D major, and collaborate with Chinese pianist Lang Lang in Mozart’s Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 24 in C minor.
And on December 2, the orchestra will bring Dvorak’s “Carnival” overture, excerpts from Wagner’s “Gotterdammerung” and collaborate with German violinist Volkhard Steude and Hungary cellist Peter Somodari in Brahm’s Double Concerto for Violin, Cello and Orchestra in A minor.
Lang still remembers his first encounter with Welser-Most when they had a good chat after his piano playing.
“Most is a great musician, from whom I got much inspiration, especially in the works of the German and Austrian school,” says Lang. “He is capable of giving a very clear instruction to the players by words and helps them sense and deliver the message in music precisely.”
Lang is looking forward to their forthcoming collaboration performing Mozart, one of his favorite composers. He recorded an album of Mozart together with the Vienna Philharmonic conducted by Nikolaus Harnoncourt in 2014.
“Mozart’s music is bright and young, with his crystal soul. Every piece of his is like a story, and can connect everybody through the melodies,” says Lang.
