more about the exhibition Eccentric Visions: The Worlds of Luo Ping
(1733—1799), on view at the Met October 6, 2009—January 10, 2010: http://tinyurl.com/luoping
The
rich sonorities and compelling melodies of Chinese music are invoked on
string instruments consisting of the erhu and related two-string
fiddles, pipa (lute), zheng (long, plucked zither), ruan (moon guitar),
and yangqin (hammered dulcimer). The ensemble Music from China performs
masterworks from the Chinese classical and folk repertoire with an array
of stylistic variations, timbral colors, and musical imagery. The
program includes such immortal classical compositions as Ambush on Ten
Sides, a powerful re-creation of a third-century battle scene, and the
romance with nature of A Moonlit River in Spring. Folk music selections
span China's broad landscape, from the urban sophistication of Shanghai
and Guangzhou (Canton) to the vast expanse of the Mongolian steppes.
