Yu Long conducts the China Philharmonic Orchestra in Chen Qigang’s La joie de la souffrance, ten years after he gave its world premiere, with Ravel’s Alborada del gracioso and Bernstein’s The Age of Anxiety.
Chen Qigang’s work for violin and orchestra La joie de la souffrance draws on the ancient melody Yangguan Sandie, turning the sorrow of parting in Chinese poetry and qin songs into the emotional language of the contemporary symphony. In 2017 Yu Long and the China Philharmonic Orchestra gave its world premiere; on its tenth anniversary he returns to it with violinist Zhou Ying.
Ravel’s Alborada del gracioso and Bernstein’s Symphony No. 2, The Age of Anxiety, for piano and orchestra, with pianist Zuo Zhang, complete a programme that reflects on human emotion.

Inside, 1,419 seats on two levels face a stage 23 metres wide, with an American Austin pipe organ behind it. The hall grew from a 5,000-seat open-air theatre of 1942 and was renovated by April 1999.
