早在去年“上海之春”结束之时,就得知今次节日中的一项特别策划——“外国作曲家写中国”活动,这的确令我有些期待。一方面源于自己对当代音乐的特殊偏爱,一方面则出于自身的城市认同感。虽说本人也非土生土长之上海人,但时长日久,或多或少对于这座城市会有一些不可磨灭的情感。在这次的上海之春国际音乐节主题“感受上海·呈现中国”活动中,由一群来自法国的作曲家为这座城市创作一系列作品,当然值得令人为之瞩目。 As early as last year’s “Spring of Shanghai”, I learned that one of the festival’s special programs, the “Foreign Composers Writing in China” campaign, did indeed give me some expectations. On the one hand stems from their own special preference for contemporary music, on the one hand out of their own urban identity. Although I am also a native of Shanghai, I live in China for a long time and have more or less indelible feelings about the city. It is of course worth noting that a series of works by this group of composers from France during this Shanghai Spring Festival International Festival “Feel the Shanghai · Present China” is of course noteworthy.
