Zhang Guoyong conducts the Shanghai Conservatory of Music Symphony Orchestra.
The red gene has been flowing in the blood of the shangyin people. Since 1927, generations of Shangyin people have created one batch of classic masterpieces, inheriting the red blood.
On the evening of December 28th, the "Red Blood" large-scale symphony concert was performed at the Shangyin Opera House, and Zhang Guoyong conducted the Symphony Orchestra of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, which performed five Chinese classic works created by successive generations of Shangyin people - the orchestral music "Ode to the Red Flag", "Evening Party" and "Senjidema", as well as the violin concerto "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" and the piano concerto "Yellow River".
Created in 1965, "Ode to the Red Flag" affectionately depicts the solemn scene of the five-star red flag rising at the founding ceremony; "Evening Party" was finalized in 1949 to celebrate the birth of New China with a warm and cheerful orchestral piece; "Senjidema" was created in 1945 and is an orchestral work based on Mongolian short-key folk songs.
In addition, the violin concerto "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" was premiered in 1959 as a gift from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music to the 10th anniversary of the founding of New China; the piano concerto "Yellow River" was first performed in 1970 and is based on the salvation song "Yellow River Chorus" during the War of Resistance Against Japan.
In the evening, two popular young teachers from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, violinist Wang Zhijiong and pianist Sun Yingdi, also came to the scene to show their style on the two concertos.
Wang Zhijiong played the violin concerto "Liang Zhu".
As the beloved disciple of Yu Lina, the premiere of the violin concerto "Liang Zhu", Wang Zhijiong took over the baton from his teacher and pulled this famous song countless times at home and abroad, "I count the second generation of violinists who play "Liang Zhu". In the Shangyin violin major, many Chinese works are compulsory repertoire, and "Liang Zhu" is not in the compulsory examination range because it is a large-scale work, but many students will also play it themselves in their spare time. Today, Wang Zhijiong has also passed on "Liang Zhu" to her students.
Sun Yingdi and the piano concerto "Yellow River" are also deeply related. In 2009, to commemorate the birth of the Yellow River Chorus, Shanghai held a large-scale commemorative event, including the filming of a music documentary, and Sun Yingdi, as a piano player, followed the entire Yellow River basin.
Sun Yingdi played the piano concerto "Yellow River".
"That shock can't be described in words." Later, when instructing students to play "Yellow River", Sun Yingdi also stressed that reading thousands of books is not as good as walking thousands of miles, suggesting that they go to the field to feel the sense of heaviness, "Most of them are 'post-00s', receiving systematic music education from childhood, can show refinement and elegance, but it is difficult to show the thickness of mountains and rivers." The word 'national soul' sounds big and has a distance from daily life, but when you go to those places and look at them, you will naturally have these feelings. ”
Before the performance, Wang Gengyao, the concertmaster of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music Symphony Orchestra, did a lot of homework to understand the background and creative history of works such as "Liang Zhu" and "Yellow River", "Those special emotions in the works, if you don't study, it is difficult to understand, it is a kind of emotion that is different from the current small love minor key." ”

"Only by really experiencing suffering can we know that today's happiness is not easy to come by, and I know what suffering is, so I know how to cherish the happiness of the present." 」 In the rehearsal before the concert, conductor Zhang Guoyong has been telling the young teachers and young students participating in the performance of the meaning of red inheritance, in his view, "red inheritance is not only the inheritance of works, but also a spiritual inheritance, the creative spirit of the older generation of musicians, through these teachers and students, from generation to generation." ”
