About

For his rich creation, GUO Wenjing is regarded as one of the most important composers in contemporary China and enjoys a high reputation in the international music circle. Especially good at composing vocal music, he has written a large number of excellent symphonic and vocal works. Among Chinese composers, his works for operas are most performed overseas. He has a strong interest in and intensive study of Chinese classical culture. The Chinese classical arts including the poetry of the Han Dynasty (202 BC-220 AD), poems of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) , poetry of the Song Dynasty (960-1279), drama, folk songs and other Chinese folk art forms provide a lot of inspiration for his creation.

In Chinese classical culture, GUO Wenjing is specially attached to the poet LI Bai. He has written many works about the poet. When he was 31 years old in 1987, he created a work based on The Sichuan Road, a famous poem by LI Bai. This work is still one of his most important representative works so far. It boldly adopted the elements of Chuanjiang Haozi (labour songs) popular in Sichuan, paying a tribute to the Sichuan culture reflected in the poem. The majestic and vigorous work acts in concert with the ultimate and exaggerated imagination and feelings in the poem. Two decades later, upon an overseas commission in 2007, he created the opera The Poet LI Bai, another exploration of the poet's poetry and also another important work in his career. In this concert, two works come from this opera, i.e. the aria of The Poet LI Bai and one of the three songs of pure happiness by LI Bai - "clouds and peonies are reminiscent of the dress and face of Yang's respectively". In fact, GUO's deep feelings for LI Bai just reflect his strong interest in the classical culture of the Tang and Song dynasties. The Banquet, an opera he created in 2003, is also an important work, unfolding the story in the painting The Feast of Han Xizai by GU Hongzhong, a painter of the Southern Tang Dynasty (937-975). The chorus of "The Beauty - When Will There Be No More Moon and Spring Flowers" comes from this opera, and the lines are from the poem of the same title by LI Yu, the last emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

GUO Wenjing boasts the same extensive knowledge of and unique views on modern Chinese literature. The work Long Travel he created for soprano and symphony orchestra drew materials from the long poem of the same title by XI Chuan, a contemporary Chinese poet. When writing this poem, XI Chuan was also inspired by LI Bai's poems, in particular his famous verse in Ascending Taibai Peak: I wish to go with the wind and emerge from the floating clouds. GUO's strong romantic feelings are attributed to these factors. The work Spring, Ten Haizis he created for soprano and symphony orchestra originated from the poems of Haizi, which also reflects that he drew rich romantic sentiment from modern literature. Upon the commission by the National Centre for the Performing Arts in 2015, he created the opera Rickshaw Boy based on LAO She's famous work of the same title. This opera is considered a milestone of his personal creation and also an important landmark of Chinese opera creation. In this concert, there will be two works from this opera, namely The City of Beijing and Fair.

As a new work of GUO Wenjing in recent years, the cappella Echo of Heaven and Earth is a reflection of wider range of the materials he drew for his creation. It integrated a variety of vocal elements from Chinese Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism and chorales created during European renaissance. It got a great success in Europe and a record of this work was made in a church. Tonight, this work will premiere in China.

Conductor

TANG Muhai

Tang Muhai is dedicated to creating new avenues for classical music and as such has most recently concentrated his attentions to building the audience and artistic reputation of new or lesser known orchestras. He is Chief Conductor of the Belgrade Philharmonic, Chief Conductor and Artistic Director of the Tianjin Opera and Orchestra and Artistic Director of the Shanghai Philharmonic and Zhenjiang Symphony Orchestras in China. Working with these orchestras he feels he is helping to build and stabilize their artistic output, which is particularly important to him in China where he is keen to help the continued growth of Chinese music. From September 2009 he has also held the role of Principal Guest Conductor of the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra.

Son of a famous film director in China, Tang Muhai has always been drawn to the musical stage, and has conducted opera on several continents, most recently with a highly acclaimed new production of Rossini’s opera Le Comte Ory in Zurich. He previously held the position of Chief Conductor of the Finnish National Opera in Helsinki where he conducted highly successful new productions of Die Frau Ohne Schatten, Turandot, Der Rosenkavalier and Pique Dame, and also Madame Butterfly, Tosca, La Rondine, Boris Godunov, The Marriage of Figaro, La Traviata, The Barber of Seville and Othello. His ballet performances with the company included an acclaimed Sacre du Printemps and a new production of Swan Lake. In 2007 he conducted fully-staged performances of Tan Dun’s opera Tea with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic.

Tang Muhai’s international recognition began when Herbert von Karajan invited him to conduct the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra in its 1983 subscription series. This success led to repeat appearances with the Berlin Philharmonic and invitations from many of the world’s leading orchestras such as the London Philharmonic, Leipzig Gewandhaus, Staatskapelle Dresden, Bayerischer Rundfunk Symphony, Orchestre de Paris, Orchestre National de France, Sydney Symphony and the San Francisco Symphony Orchestras amongst many others. Since then he has appeared as guest conductor on four continents and at music festivals in Prague, Berlin, Edinburgh, Verona, Bergen and Beijing. He is a favourite with audiences and musicians alike, with an engaging stage presence and graceful and natural technique. He has worked with numerous great artists such as Mstislav Rostropovich, Yehudi Menuhin, Itzhak Perlman, Jean-Pierre Rampal, Martha Argerich and Anne-Sophie Mutter to name just a few.

He maintains close links with China, returning regularly to conduct in Beijing and Shanghai. Tang Muhai also enjoys working with younger musicians in a mentoring role and has conducted the Shanghai Conservatory Orchestra, where he studied himself and in Berlin as part of the Young Euro Classic Festival in which 17 youth orchestras performed in 17 days. In August 2007 he brought students from the Shanghai Conservatory to collaborate with the German Youth Orchestra, a project culminating in two performances at the Berlina Konzerthaus and then a tour through six major cities of China; this led to a chamber orchestra tour in 2009 and the collaboration continues to this day. Tang Muhai became Conducting Professor and Head of the Conducting Department at the Conservatory in 2007. He has also worked for Shanghai Concert Hall as Artistic Director and also holds the title of Conductor Laureate of the National Symphony Orchestra of China.

Among Tang Muhai’s many recordings, the Guitar Concertos by Tan Dun and Christopher Rouse with Sharon Isbin and the Gulbenkian Orchestra, for Teldec, was awarded a Grammy in 2002.
