LIVE ON FRIDAY: THE BERLINER PHILHARMONIKER ON ASIAN TOUR
資料來源：The Berliner Philharmoniker - Digital Concert Hall
The Berliner Philharmoniker and Sir Simon
Rattle are on tour in Asia – and invite you to join them on the Internet. On 8
November, the musicians perform Anton Bruckner’s Seventh Symphony and Pierre
Boulez’ Notations at the National Chiang Kai-Shek Cultural Center in
Taipei. You can watch the concert live in the Digital Concert Hall.
The Berliner Philharmoniker associate Taiwan
with one of the most moving experiences in their recent history. In November
2005, tens of thousands of people came together on two evenings in the square
in front of Chiang Kai-Shek Cultural Center, where the Berliner Philharmoniker
and Simon Rattle performed works by Beethoven, Richard Strauss and Thomas Adès.
After the concert, the musicians were celebrated like pop stars by the
enthusiastic crowd. “Of course we will come back to Taiwan,” Simon Rattle said
at the time. This promise will now be kept.
Pierre Boulez’ Notations are based
on twelve short piano pieces from his student days which the composer and
conductor has been realising in orchestration since 1985. They make up a
sensually and analytically brilliant “work in progress”. In this concert, the
Berliner Philharmoniker under Simon Rattle, whose connection to Pierre Boulez
goes back to his time as a student, will perform a selection of those Notations which
already exist in an orchestra version.
One could also talk about a “work in
progress” with many Bruckner symphonies considering the numerous adaptations
that the composer provided for his works (usually not initiated by him).
Against this background, it must have been tremendously gratifying for Bruckner
that the premiere of his Seventh Symphony was finally given the resounding
success for which he had hoped for much of his life.

This excerpt from the film Trip to Asia gives
an impression of the last concert given by the Berliner Philharmoniker in
Taiwan in 2005
The Berliner Philharmoniker associate Taiwan
with one of the most moving experiences in their recent history. In November
2005, tens of thousands of people came together on two evenings in the square
in front of Chiang Kai-Shek Cultural Center, where the Berliner Philharmoniker
and Simon Rattle performed works by Beethoven, Richard Strauss and Thomas Adès.
After the concert, the musicians were celebrated like pop stars by the
enthusiastic crowd. "Of course we will come back to Taiwan," Simon
Rattle said at the time. This promise will now be kept -- with two concerts,
which will be shown at six public screenings in four Taiwan cities before an
expected crowd of some 70,000.
