"Li Dong" Wang Xiaodeng [Ming Dynasty]
The autumn wind blew away the old Tingke, and the yellow leaf DanFeng guest passed.
A little Zen lamp half round moon, this evening is more cold than last night.
The autumn wind blows out, the four seasons rotate, and tomorrow is the beginning of winter. At this time, when the festival announced that the earth had entered winter, the online series of performances of the National Centre for the Performing Arts opened the chapter of "Winter Covenant" as promised. The first to present the audience is a classical music feast that combines a sense of passion and pure youth techniques - the rhapsody of life: Lin Daye, Zeng Yun and the National Centre for the Performing Arts Orchestra perform the Mozart and Mahler concert.
In this concert, Lin Daye, music director and principal conductor of the Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra, will lead the National Centre for the Performing Arts Orchestra for the first time, together with Zeng Yun, a young horn player who won the gold medal of the Tchaikovsky International Competition, to bring Mozart's "Horn Concerto No. 4 in E major" and Mahler's "Symphony No. 5 in C minor", adding a melting warmth to the chilly winter days with colorful musical chapters.
Mozart's Horn Concerto No. 4 in E major
Travel through time and space in music,
Listen to the pinnacle conversations between geniuses
As a representative of the "classical period" in the history of music, Mozart's music is exquisite and elegant and full of inspiration, and the melody flowing in his pen makes the listener feel as if he is traveling among the stars, shining everywhere.
Horn Concerto No. 4 in E major, First Movement
The Horn Concerto No. 4 in E major was completed in 1786, when Mozart was 30 years old, the most mature period of composition. The Horn Concerto was tailor-made for his friend Joseph Loitgeb, the most prominent horn player of the second half of the 18th century. In Mozart's time, the horn valve key had not yet been invented, and some of the special techniques of today's professional horn players were still in their infancy, so the "Horn Concerto No. 4 in E Flat Major", which is still challenging to play today, was called the "difficulty ceiling" of horn playing at that time.

Tonight, under the cooperation of young horn player Zeng Yun and the National Centre for the Performing Arts Orchestra, the audience can fully appreciate the pure youth of "classical music" in this work, feel the rich Viennese temperament, and the charming charm of the horn.

Mahler's Symphony No. 5 in C minor
Feel the wind and rain from,
A world of meteorological music
Mahler predicted: "My time will come." As a representative of late Romantic music, Mahler was known as a top conductor during his lifetime. Half a century after his death, his musical works began to be valued and respected by the world. Mahler's status as a composer was only gradually established after the 1960s, and mahler's symphonies are now almost as popular as Beethoven.com. His symphonies are considered the irreplaceable masterpieces of late Romantic symphonic music, and had a profound impact on the century-long musical composition that followed him.
Symphony No. 5 in C minor First movement
Composed from 1901 to 1902, Symphony No. 5 in C minor does not have vocal vocals, lyrics and titles, and Mahler strives to abandon literary elements and resort to pure musical forms, with a very broad and profound spiritual dimension.
Symphony No. 5 in C minor Movements 2 and 3
The famous trumpet four-tone shape at the beginning of the first movement is often reminiscent of the "Motive of Fate" of Beethoven's symphony, which is also No. 5; the fourth movement is arguably the most famous movement of all Mahler's musical works, often considered to be a loving love poem dedicated by Mahler to his new wife, Alma; and the stormy momentum of the final movement brings the audience into the windy and rainy, weathery music world. Karajan once said, "[Listening] to a wonderful performance of Mahler's Symphony No. 5 is an otherworldly experience." Its wonderful final movement almost forces you to hold your breath. ”
