是年香港管弦樂團音樂會網主絶不下訂的是慶祝深圳河以北紅色恐怖政權六十周年的梁祝小提琴協奏曲 網主想起<文化現場>雜誌六月號 Kung Chi-shing 側寫中國現代音樂的蒼白 轉錄如下 :
II. Would someone please ban the 'Butterfly Lovers' Violin Concerto' ?
Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against this piece - I can almost 'hum' the whole concerto (well at least all the melodies) - but I don't want to listen to it one more time. Never in music history, anywhere in the world, has one single piece of music been able to spin out so many different versions: other than the original violin version, this concerto has been rewritten for piano, erhu, gaohu, pipa, liuqin, dizi soprano, harmonica, xylophone... to name just a few.
In October, the HKPO will present a concert to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the People's Republic of China, and the Butterfly Lovers' Violin Concerto will be the central piece: a sensible choice in this particular context, since this year is also the concerto's 50th anniversary. But still it is sad that, after all these years, far as modern music form China is concerned, all we continue to show the world is the Butterfly Lovers' Violin Concerto (varying it occasionally with the Yellow River Piano Concerto.)
Interestingly, the opening piece of the HKPO concert will be a new composition, Still/Motion (2009), written by the promising young Chinese composer Huang Ruo (born 1976), which premiered in Shanghai in May. Accordingly to the programme notes, Huang Ruo has taken 'thematic fragments (of the Butterfly Lovers' Violin Concerto) and placed them in a contemporary, minimalist context.'
Oh well, I suppose the 'legend' must continue...
