Cultural Symphony An Interview with Zheng Xiaoying,China’s Famous Female Symphony Conductor

厦门爱乐乐团的排练厅里,花白头发的指挥从后排起身,绕过乐队,走到年轻的指挥身边,边评点边示范,挥动的双手时而舒缓时而激越。这双为创造美妙和谐的音乐而挥动的手在柏林爱乐大厅接受鲜花,在许多年轻指挥的肩头留下鼓励,在迎接2008北京奥运会时传递奥运火炬,在深更半夜更新微博、回复电子邮件。这双充满活力的手属于84岁的中国著名女指挥家郑小瑛。本期就让我们一起与这位"忙碌的‘80后’老太太"聊聊中国交响乐。

Inside the rehearsal room of Xiamen Philharmonic Orchestra, a gray haired conductor got up from the back seat, walked around the orchestra to a young conductor and critiqued her performance as she demonstrated what she meant. Her hands would sometimes wave excitedly and sometimes gently. These hands have conducted beautiful and harmonious music, received bouquets at the Berlin Philharmonic Hall, encouraged lots of young conductors, relayed the Olympic torch during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, and also updated blogs and replied to e-mails in the middle of the nights. This pair of hands, full of vitality, belongs to Zheng Xiaoying, an 84 year-old famous female conductor from China.In this issue, we will be discussing Chinese symphonic music with this busy old lady.
